A group of turkeys. Turkey populations in the United States and worldwide have been heavily impacted/devastated by the H5N1/avian influenza outbreak. Per USDA, the chance of infected poultry or eggs entering the food chain is extremely low due to the rapid onset of symptoms in poultry and safeguards in place, including federal inspection programs, testing of flocks, and culling of flocks with infected birds. The USDA reminds the public that proper food handling and preparation is important at all times, including use of a food thermometer to ensure that poultry has reached the safe internal temperature of at least 165 °F to kill any foodborne germs that might be present.

Freshly laid eggs from a chicken. Per CDC, cooking eggs to an internal temperature of 165˚F kills bacteria and viruses, including avian influenza A viruses. The USDA recommends washing hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds before and after handling raw backyard chicken eggs and shells, and keeping raw eggs away from other foods to prevent the possibility of cross-contamination.
