Due to the spread of bird flu, Australia’s major supermarket chain Coles has put a cap on the purchase of eggs.
Due to the spread of bird flu, Australia’s major supermarket chain Coles has put a cap on the purchase of eggs since last week.
The confirmation came only days after a sixth farm in Victoria recently tested positive for the H7N3 strain. Ms Tara Moriarty, NSW minister for agriculture, said in a statement that the state government has enacted its emergency biosecurity incident plan to address the detection of the high pathogenicity avian influenza .
As the high pathogenic diseases can spread quickly and lead to a high mortality rate among poultry birds, the farm is now under an immediate lockdown and the NSW government also commenced its emergency animal disease response. “This detection does not pose a risk to consumer health and the products are safe to consume if they are handled and cooked as per standard food handling practices,” the minister added.
