Web Statement: The Canadian Food Inspection Agency Continues its Investigation Into Avian Influenza in Ontario

(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 07/15/16 -- The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is continuing its investigation into an avian influenza situation near St. Catharines, Ontario.

There remains one single premises confirmed to be infected with avian influenza, which is a commercial duck farm. The Agency has established an Avian Influenza Control Zone that covers a 3 km boundary from this farm. All other premises located within this zone, as well as other high risk-contact premises have been placed under quarantine.

The Agency is continuing surveillance and testing within the zone to determine whether there is any additional evidence of avian influenza. To date, all of this testing has been negative.

To reduce disease spread, all ducks on the infected premises have been humanely euthanized in accordance with internationally accepted standards.

Avian influenza does not pose a risk to food safety when poultry and poultry products are properly handled and cooked. Avian influenza rarely affects humans that do not have consistent contact with infected birds.

The Agency continues to monitor this situation closely. The Avian Influenza Control Zone remains in effect until further notice.
