I have been contacted by a number of people who are concerned about eating chicken and various meats. I’m not qualified to comment on this really, but hopefully this article on the BBC website should reassure people that the current bird flu problem “is in a wild bird, it is not in our poultry flocks. It is certainly not a food scare, there is no imminent danger.”

My own view is that considerable care is being taken to protect commercial poultry flocks and that we need have no concerns, at the moment, about the risk of bird flu contaminating chicken and other meats. Fear can do far more damage to our poultry industries, which are worth £7billion, than bird flu at this point.
