We now know that the United States is testing ground beef for the bird flu. It is unclear however if Missouri beef is affected based on information that's been released so far.
There's now reason to be seriously concerned about recent cases of the bird flu as the state of Missouri has now issued a warning about this highly contagious sickness that has now been detected in a farm worker.
The bird flu is back and it's spreading including one case where a human has been sickened after contact with cattle. I have also confirmed that bird flu has been confirmed in Missouri in 2024 affecting flock sizes of over 90,000.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's chief veterinary officer says the country's poultry industry may have to live with a deadly bird flu strain for several years and it could be devastating.
