What you can and CAN'T eat amid America's bird flu outbreak, according to ex-FDA food chief: Avoid steak houses, salad dressing and even some favorite desserts!
A food safety expert shared the foods he would avoid amid bird flu fears
These include Caesar salad dressing, runny egg yolks, and rare steak
Americans are being urged to stay away from classic American dishes like steak and eggs and some desserts because there's a small risk of catching bird flu.
That is the advice of former FDA food safety advisor Dr Darin Detwiler who said animal products that are not properly cooked could harbor small fragments of the virus which is currently tearing through US farms.
That means steak should be cooked well done and eggs with runny yolks should be avoided. Even salad dressings like Caesar can be a risk due to being made with raw eggs, he said.
The H5N1 bird flu strain has caused outbreaks on over a dozen farms across the US, infecting cattle and chickens and raising fears over the safety of the US food supply.

I’ll put a mask on my medium steak and call it a day.

Hard to eat this steak while I am wearing my two masks.

More importantly, how can I use this bird flu to gain virtue points?

If people knew how often bird flu popped up they would be shocked

How far away from my steak should I be? 6 feet or closer?

Last week, health officials in Texas confirmed that a dairy farmer caught the virus, making him only the second-ever American to contract the disease.
Only two Americans ever? And if we are applying the law of averages, he was probably misdiagnosed.
I have a better chance of getting sick from the mouse I used to click on that article.

yeah. this registers as a nothingburger for me.
If bird flu from a rare steak is what gets me it was my time to go.

frick the FDA and basically every other government agency. I will eat whatever the frick I want.

maybe this is why he's the ex-FDA food chief instead of the current one.
the FDA makes no mention of steak and says eggs are safe as well
milk is fine too

It is safe to eat eggs during the bird flu outbreak.
“There is no evidence that the virus can be transmitted to humans through properly prepared food,” the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says.
milk is fine too
quote:
There is “no concern” from the FDA, USDA and CDC that milk in the commercial supply is unsafe.
That’s because milk products are pasteurized before entering the market and “dairies are required to send only milk from healthy animals into processing for human consumption,” the federal agencies said in a joint update.
Pasteurization is the process of heating milk to a high enough temperature for a long enough time to kill harmful germs.
“Milk from impacted animals is being diverted or destroyed so that it does not enter the human food supply,” the federal agencies said. “In addition, pasteurization has continually proven to inactivate bacteria and viruses, like influenza, in milk. Pasteurization is required for any milk entering interstate commerce for human consumption.”

Of all the damage done by the lies the government and media told us about COVID, we haven’t even seen the worst long term effect, namely the complete loss of trust in our institutions. Some day there will be another pandemic of some sort, possibly much worse than COVID. And when it does come, there will be countless millions in this country and others who won’t believe anything their govt and media tells them about it. That trust has been shattered. And the result will be the death of millions.
I’m not saying this bird flu is that pandemic. But one day, a real one, a bad one will come again. But most folks won’t believe it because their trust has been purposely broken by their government and media. There should be consequences, dire consequences in fact, for those who knowingly pushed lies during COVID.
