Food Safety Alert: Bird Flu Outbreak Detected in Chicken Varieties
On November 11, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving the detection of the Bird Flu virus in various chicken varieties originating from the Netherlands. This outbreak has raised serious concerns regarding bio-contaminants and their potential impact on public health.
The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) has issued warnings to consumers and food businesses about the risks associated with the consumption of affected chicken products. The Bird Flu virus, known for its ability to spread among poultry, poses a risk not only to animal health but also to human health through potential transmission via contaminated food products.
Consumers are advised to remain vigilant and to avoid purchasing or consuming chicken products that may be linked to this outbreak. Proper cooking and handling of chicken are essential to mitigate the risks associated with bio-contaminants. It is crucial to ensure that chicken is cooked to the appropriate internal temperature to eliminate any harmful pathogens.
Food businesses are urged to implement stringent food safety measures and to monitor their supply chains closely to prevent the distribution of contaminated products. The NVWA continues to investigate the outbreak and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
For further information, consumers and businesses should refer to official communications from food safety authorities and adhere to recommended food safety practices.
