Le Foll wants to reassure on bird flu


By Lefigaro.fr with ReutersMis updated 12/14/2015 at 18:58 Published on 14/12/2015 at 18:55

The Agriculture Minister Stephane Le Foll, reaffirmed today, based on a report of ANSES, that the bird flu strain detected in five French departments since November showed no danger to humans .

Fifteen outbreaks of H5N1, H5N2 and H5N9 have been reported in recent weeks in the Southwest, including two today - one in a farm of 1.070 ducks in the Dordogne and the other in a farm of 1,700 animals in Landes. After the first outbreak in November, St?phane Le Foll had seized the national health food safety agency (ANSES), who presented Monday reassuring findings deemed by the Minister. "There is no risk of the H5N1 virus to human health, none. And for the H5N2 and H5N9, we are with viruses with proximities that make what is valid on H5N1 is valid for the other viruses, "he said at a press conference. St?phane Le Foll has insisted that these strains of avian influenza were not transmitted to humans or other mammals.

"You can not get the flu by eating meat or fatty liver. I repeat it very serene and very clearly. Consumers can go buy these products for the holiday season, it's part of an economic issue, "he added." We hope that the countries that imported products do not take global decisions on the whole territory ( ...), let's not apply brutally to the whole France decisions that should be taken for specific regions, "he said.

Several countries, including Japan - the biggest importer of French foie gras - decided to suspend imports of French poultry following the outbreak, the first in France since 2007.
