Bird flu hits UK
This week not only the weather (10cm of snow) but also bird flu arrived in England.
Bernard Matthews apparently imports turkeys from his own farms in Hungary to process in his factories in Norfolk. What has not been said is whether he feeds the residue of the processing to his birds in Norfolk. Apparently the birds are farmed on the same land as the factories that process them.
It has yet to be explained how (if) H5N1 imported in factory goods from Hungary can end up in the food chain of birds bred in Norfolk.
