With the ominous threat of a bird flu pandemic, many are wondering if it’s safe to eat turkey on Thanksgiving.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, it IS safe. “Eating properly handled and cooked poultry is safe.
The U.S. government has banned imported poultry from countries affected by bird flu, including H5N1. In addition, European health officials say cooking kills the virus, and they are assuring Europeans it is safe to eat chicken,” the CDC told The Associated Press in response to a list of questions about bird flu.
