No. Foster Farms birds have never been exposed to the H5N1 virus and the company has stringent biosecurity safeguards in place to protect their birds from an unlikely introduction. More importantly the United States does not have the H5N1 HPAI virus and does not import poultry from the countries where known outbreaks of AI have occurred.
