Over 63,000 turkeys will be culled due to four avian flu outbreaks in Strathroy-Caradoc, Ontario. Four poultry farms in the region have confirmed highly pathogenic avian flu cases within two weeks. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency confirmed the fourth outbreak on Friday. The outbreaks are a flock health issue, not a food safety concern. The risk to humans is rare, and transmission is not linked to consuming cooked poultry or eggs.
