Might want to switch to other animals, beef is questionable ATM.
Has it been confirmed that Bird Flu is transferable via beef? Legit question, I just haven't seen any news about that recently.
Remnants of bird flu have been found in bovine milk and recently sampled in 20% of milk in grocery stores. So far, it's been determined to just be "genetic material" - not live or infectious. Milk is pasteurized in the US so it's reasonably safe to keep drinking. I don't believe this would impact beef consumption, certainly not cooked beef.
Beth Mole at Ars Technica has been covering it https://arstechnica.com/author/beth/
The CDC is reporting at least one dairy worker has been infected https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2024/p0401-avian-flu.html
Imagine the crisis that a public health bulletin stating "red meat should be cooked thoroughly" would cause. Heh heh heh
“Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness" has been the standard disclaimer since 2016, but nobody's thrown a fit, even though there's a big difference between a rare steak and rare burger (the interior of the ground beef has been exposed, the interior of the steak has not).
I haven't heard anything about it, only that it's been detected in milk and pasteurization kills it. Cooking should kill it if it's in meat anyway. At least to medium, preferably to full doneness.
I don't think it's been confirmed. Here's your chance to be #1.
Patient zero.
I think only prions can spread through meat
Edit: I'm obviously wrong, salmonella exists. Also a quick Google search says viruses can also be transferred through meat
yolo
All of my beef is in my freezer from a local farmer about two months ago. Hopefully it's clear.
