The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the detection of bird flu in beef for the first time in a sick dairy cow, but assured consumers that the meat did not enter the food supply and remains safe to eat. The virus was found during routine inspections of carcasses, and while bird flu has been found in dairy herds in nine states and prompted the slaughter of millions of birds, this is a new development. The USDA has been testing ground beef for the virus at retail stores, but no signs have been found yet. Cooking beef to the proper temperature will kill the virus. The public health risk remains low, with only two farmworkers contracting bird flu this year, and one other human case reported in 2022.
