Is Carlton Farms pork safe to eat with the recent outbreak of the hybrid flu?
Yes. Pork is safe to eat and the hybrid influenza outbreak has not affected the U.S. swine-herd. That’s the consistent message from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE). The fact is the current flu outbreak is not linked to pigs in any way. Investigations have determined that none of the people infected with the hybrid flu had contact with hogs, that contact with swine is not the source of this outbreak, and that U.S. pigs have not been infected. “Given there is no case of infection in animals confirmed in the zones where cases of human infection have been detected, it is not necessary to introduce specific measures for international trade in swine or their products nor to consider that consumers of pork products are at risk of infection,” the OIE statement asserts. People can not get the hybrid influenza from eating pork or pork products. Hybrid influenza is a respiratory disease and is no
