On Sunday the British government said the public health risk was very low, and the bird flu does not pose a food safety risk.
Middlemiss said in a statement to Reuters on Sunday: “Avian flu has been confirmed at a commercial turkey fattening farm near Northallerton, North Yorkshire.”
All 10,500 birds at the farm were set to be humanely culled to limit the flu’s spread.
