As bird flu spreads, what is the risk from eggs and milk?
Experts say the risk of bird flu from pasteurized products is very low.
By Mary Kekatos
February 6, 2025
"'The risk to the public to contract bird flu from items that they get in the grocery store is exceptionally low,' Dr. Nicole Martin, an assistant research professor in dairy foods microbiology in the department of food science at Cornell University in New York, told ABC News.
"'We know that pasteurization has been shown to be very effective at eliminating the virus from milk. ... And then on the poultry and egg side, [there is] very low risk that eggs make it to the marketplace with the avian flu.'
"Government regulations currently require egg processors to wash and sanitize eggs that are graded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to remove germs from the shell.
"Additionally, some pasteurized eggs are available in grocery stores as long as the processor has approved the process with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
"Even if bird flu manages to make its way into an egg, 'the normal cooking process would kill that virus,' Dr. David Cennimo, an associate professor of medicine at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, told ABC News. 'So, the only theoretical risk is if you're eating raw or undercooked eggs, and again, the flocks are being monitored for bird flu.'"
