Food Safety Alert: Influenza Viruses Detected in Goose Products
On November 3, 2025, an outbreak of influenza viruses has been detected in goose products originating from Switzerland. This incident has raised significant concerns regarding food safety, particularly due to the potential health risks associated with the consumption of contaminated poultry products.
The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) has classified this incident under the category of bio-contaminants, emphasizing the need for heightened awareness and precautionary measures among consumers and food industry stakeholders. Influenza viruses can pose serious health risks, especially to vulnerable populations, including the elderly, young children, and individuals with compromised immune systems.
Consumers are advised to exercise caution when handling and preparing goose products. It is essential to ensure that all poultry products are cooked thoroughly to the recommended internal temperature to eliminate potential pathogens. Additionally, proper hygiene practices, such as washing hands, utensils, and surfaces after contact with raw poultry, are crucial in preventing cross-contamination.
Food industry professionals should remain vigilant and adhere to safety protocols to mitigate the risks associated with this outbreak. Regular monitoring and testing of poultry products for contaminants are vital steps in ensuring the safety of food supplies.
