Is it safe to eat pork meat and pork products?
Yes. Influenza A (H1N1) has not been shown to be transmissible to people through eating properly handled and prepared pork (pig meat) or other products derived from pigs. The influenza A (H1N1) virus is killed by cooking temperatures of 160° F / 70° C, corresponding to the general guidance for the preparation of pork and other meat.
