Bird Flu - is it Safe to Eat Chicken?

Yes, it is safe to eat chicken says 'The International Poultry Council' that is now setting up a panel to correct misinformation before more people stop eating chicken and eggs.

So far the disease has not spread by human to human contact. The World Health Organisation has said the primary way humans can get infected with the virus is by coming in direct contact with infected poultry or surfaces or objects contaminated with their droppings.

Remember kids, wash that cutting board and knife in hot water and avoid the chicken poop on your grandmothers roof!
