(CNN) — The US Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday that it had detected viral particles of H5N1 avian influenza in milk purchased at grocery stores, but the agency says it still believes that the milk is safe to drink.
In an update about an ongoing outbreak of bird flu in cattle, the FDA noted that it believes the viral particles were detected by highly sensitive lab tests and are likely to have been remnants of viruses killed during the pasteurization process. The agency said that it does not think it is likely that the particles would able to infect people but it is conducting additional tests to be completely sure.

(aneb comment) its annoying to quote tweet this stuff when you break it up so much so just scroll up...
The USDA? interesting. sure would be a shame if they were linked to funding the avian flu... Oh wait, I already posted about that!
Oh look. The USDA approved a grant for gain of function research for avian influenza with China’s Institute of Microbiology which is linked to the very same Wuhan lab where Covid leaked from.
