Press release
The risk to public health from the virus is very low and the Food Standards Agency advises that bird flu poses a very low food safety risk. ![]() Avian influenza of the H5N8 strain was confirmed at a premises near Frodsham in Cheshire on Monday 2 November. Testing today (Tuesday 3 November) has confirmed this is a highly pathogenic strain related to the virus currently circulating in Europe. All 13,500 birds at the farm will be humanely culled to limit the spread of the disease. A 3km Protection Zone and a 10km Surveillance Zone have been put in place around the infected site to limit the risk of the disease spreading. This case is unrelated to the H5N2 strain which was confirmed in at a small commercial premises near Deal in Kent on Monday. Public Health England (PHE) advises that the risk to public health from the virus is very low and the Food Standards Agency advises that avian influenzas pose a very low food safety risk for UK consumers. Properly cooked poultry and poultry products, including eggs, are safe to eat. Chief Veterinary Officer, Christine Middlemiss, said:

There are some simple measures that all poultry keepers, whether they are running a large commercial farm, keeping a few hens in their back garden, or rearing game birds, should take to protect their birds against the threat of avian flu. These include:
