Avian Flu Found In Tyson Chickens
Tyson Slaughters 15,000 Hens After Outbreak

UPDATED: 6:57 am EDT June 4, 2008


ORLANDO, Fla. -- A major food producer is taking drastic measures after avian flu was discovered in its chickens. 
 
Officials with Tyson Foods said some of their hens tested positive for the disease in Arkansas.

Authorities said the strain of the virus is not harmful to humans, but Tyson decided to slaughter and bury 15,000 hens after they showed signs of exposure.

Officials at the Centers for Disease Control said a 2004 outbreak of the same virus at a Canadian poultry plant did make two people sick.

A representative for Tyson Foods said the company is also stepping up its surveillance of avian flu in the area as a precaution.

Authorities have not ordered any recalls of Tyson products.

Another reason to skip the chicken breasts and go with grass-fed beef instead.

The bird flu is here.  Told people it was coming, but they insisted we were just conspiracy theorists trying to frighten people out of eating chicken. 

Although they claim this particular strain is not dangerous to humans, that doesn't mean that the virus is not evolving.

Goat do you order from any online sources?  If so, pease list them thanks.

We order from one occasionally and I had assumed their beef was grass-fed but just looked at their site briefly and don't see it stated :-\
