Handling International Bird Products Q&A

The United States Department of Agriculture & Dept of Homeland Security,

have very specifically in place, barriers,

looking for illegal products, and there is officially

from the USDA a prohibition of poultry, poultry products,

and products from wild birds coming into the United States

from these areas that are affected by H5N1.

So it's reassuring to the American customer and consumer

is that it's not a for sure deal it's going to come into the United States

and we have in place firewalls to keep this virus out.
