Should I be alarmed by the stories in the news about the Asian bird flu?
No. The strain of Asian bird flu in the news, highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza, has never been found in the U.S. All Case Farms products sold in the U.S. come from poultry raised by farm families in the U.S. Our poultry are raised in environmentally controlled houses, protecting them from contact with potential carriers of disease; we maintain strict biosecurity procedures covering all aspects of the bird's life; and we carefully monitor the health of every flock. This is very different from some parts of Asia where chickens are raised in close quarters with humans.
