No. Swine Flu is transmitted by direct and indirect contact with an infected human, usually through a cough or sneeze. Swine Flu is definitely not transmitted by the food you consume; that is to say that it is not a food borne illness. The Influenza virus dies at 160 degrees Fahrenheit. As long as they are prepared properly, all pork products are safe to consume.
