As poultry farms and dairies across California continue to battle bird flu outbreaks, residents may be worried about food safety this holiday season.

As of Nov. 18, a total of 294 dairies in California were under quarantine due to the avian flu, state agriculture officials confirmed. More than 4 million turkeys and chickens have been killed at poultry ranches across the state in an attempt to stop the virus from spreading. Meanwhile, the bird flu virus was detected in a batch of raw milk from Raw Farm in Fresno County, the California Department of Public Health reported. The Fresno Bee talked to María Soledad, a food safety inspection service spokeswoman at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, to learn more about the virus and how it affects food safety. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, highly pathogenic avian influenza — also known as bird flu or H5N1 — is a highly contagious and often deadly disease primarily found in poultry. It is “caused by highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5) and A (H7) viruses,” the agency said on its website. HPAI can spread from wild birds to domestic poultry and other animals. The virus can also infect humans in rare cases. “It is important to note that ‘highly pathogenic’ refers to severe impact in birds, not necessarily in humans,” the agency said. Unlike seasonal influenza viruses, which are typically contracted through human-to-human transmission, avian influenza viruses are spread by infected birds through saliva, mucus and feces, according to the CDC. The virus can also be present in the respiratory secretions, organs, blood, or body fluids of other infected animals — including milk. Human infections occur when the virus enters the eyes, nose or mouth, or is inhaled through airborne droplets, aerosol particles or dust. It can also be transmitted by touching contaminated surfaces and then touching the face. “Illness in humans from avian influenza virus infections have ranged in severity from no symptoms or mild illness to severe disease that resulted in death,” the CDC said. “Consumers can safely enjoy turkey this holiday season,” the U.S. Food and Drug Administration wrote in an email to The Bee, noting that food safety inspectors examine turkeys for disease “before and after slaughter.” That includes your Thanksgiving bird. “The turkeys from farms with confirmed avian influenza don’t even get sent to slaughter,” Soledad said. “They are destroyed on premises.” During an avian flu outbreak, “The chance of infected poultry or eggs entering the food chain is low,” the FDA said on its website in April, “because of the rapid onset of symptoms in poultry as well as the safeguards in place, which include testing of flocks and federal inspection programs.” “When food is properly prepared and stored, the risk of consumers becoming infected with HPAI is reduced even further,” the FDA said. UC Davis professor Linda J. Harris, who focuses on microbial food safety, says you should prepare your Thanksgiving turkey using four essential steps: clean, cook, chill and separate. You can watch the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Holiday Food Safety video for tips on how to prepare a turkey the safe way, or check out the turkey recipe developed by the Partnership for Food Safety Education, a nonprofit organization that works to reduce food-borne illness risks. According to the USDA, any traces of highly pathogenic avian influenza in your turkey are inactivated when food reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. The USDA recommends following this rule anytime you’re preparing raw poultry, including chicken. On its Thanksgiving food safety website , the USDA has videos and information including calculators that help you determine the appropriate amount of time to thaw and cook your turkey. “Simply select your turkey’s weight, along with your preferred thawing and cooking methods, and you’ll immediately receive guidance on how to safely prepare your turkey this Thanksgiving!’ USDA congressional public affairs specialist Maria Machuca wrote in an email to The Bee. “There is no evidence that the virus can be transmitted to humans through properly prepared food,” the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on its website. Pasteurized milk and other dairy products are safe to consume and cook with, according to Hebah Ghanem, infectious disease specialist at University of California San Francisco, Fresno. “The most important thing that it has to be pasteurized, because the virus is killed with heat,” Ghanem told The Bee. “Pasteurization of milk was adopted decades ago as a basic public health measure to kill dangerous bacteria and largely eliminate the risk of getting sick,” the FDA said on its website. All egg products are pasteurized as required by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. “This means that they have been rapidly heated and held at a minimum required temperature for a specified time to destroy bacteria,” the agency said. However, eggs that are still in their shells aren’t required to be pasteurized, leading to potential health risks if eaten raw or uncooked. According to the CDC, avian flu symptoms in humans may include: California dairy workers infected with avian flu have experienced mild flu-like symptoms, The Bee previously reported. “All the cases that we have here in California are very mild,” Ghanem told the Fresno Bee in October. “They haven’t needed hospitalization.” To prevent the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza, people should avoid exposure to dead animals, Ghanem said in October. That includes wild birds, poultry, other domesticated birds and cows. People should also avoid exposure to animal feces as well as fluids. Here are other tips from Ghanem: ©2024 The Sacramento Bee.

First Bancorp (NASDAQ:FBNC) to Issue Quarterly Dividend of $0.22
EDITORIAL Community efforts backed by civic bodies can boost floriculture in the state That Goa produced around 180 tonnes of locally grown marigold flowers during the Dussehra and Diwali festivities this year is something to cheer about. The Agriculture Department said that compared to the past years when 100 per cent of the state’s marigold requirements during the two festivals came from outside, this year, the local production was significant. The farmers were provided training on growing marigold by the Agriculture Technology Management Agency (ATMA), which resulted in them bringing 30 hectares under cultivation. Farmers were also provided with hybrid marigold seedlings, which yielded good results. ATMA is a society of key stakeholders involved in agricultural activities for the sustainable development of the sector. It is a focal point for integrating research and extension activities and decentralising day-to-day management and is also responsible for technology dissemination to farmers. Flower cultivation is undertaken in the talukas of Pernem, Bicholim, Quepem and Bardez. Other than marigold, the flower varieties grown in the state include crossandra (‘abolim’) and jasmine (‘mogra’), according to the agriculture department. Agriculture director Sandeep Phaldesai said that Goa can move towards becoming self-sufficient in marigold if every farmer grows some marigold plants on their land. “Even 20 plants around the house per farmer can make a difference in marigold production,” he said. This seems practical, and every second house having a courtyard has the capacity to cultivate marigold. Traditionally, marigolds used to be seen in people’s compounds every monsoon. This can be revived. People may not be aware of the government schemes for floriculture and horticulture. The government insists that the Swayampurna mitras are active in every village. As said, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and their work – whether they are active or not – is known by the people on the ground. Citizens need to be made aware of the government schemes. Multi-pronged methods can be used to popularise and create awareness among the people. The agriculture department provides a Rs 75,000 per hectare subsidy for floriculture and also extends technical guidance. Elected representatives at the grassroots level, along with NGOs, students and panchayat officials, can visit their respective villages and motivate people to take up floriculture. They can also take the opportunity to speak of subsidies for agriculture, horticulture, and vegetable and fruit cultivation. The seeds for taking up cultivation need to be sown in the minds of the students very early in life. Harvesting flowers, fruits or vegetables one has cultivated brings a lot of joy and happiness to the cultivator. As per the National Horticulture Database published by the National Horticulture Board during 2023-24, the area under floriculture production in India was 2.85 lakh hectares with a production of 31 lakh tonne flowers. India’s total export of floriculture was Rs 717.83 crore in 2023-24, and the major importing countries were the US, Netherlands, UAE, UK and Canada. There are more than 300 export-oriented units in India. More than 50 per cent of the floriculture units are based in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Reports say that with technical collaborations from foreign companies, the Indian floriculture industry is poised to increase its share in world trade. If the authorities and civic bodies engage students and community leaders, it won’t be difficult for Goa to turn our farms green, painted in hues of orange and yellow.Pebblebrook Hotel Trust ( NYSE:PEB – Get Free Report ) declared a quarterly dividend on Monday, December 16th, NASDAQ Dividends reports.
