Avian Influenza As a company, Wenger’s worked through the avian influenza epidemic in 1983 and 1984 that devastated the poultry industry in Pennsylvania including many flocks owned by the company. With a current epidemic in the news, we want to assure our customers and the community that we continue to follow strict biosecurity procedures to protect customer flocks and company-managed flocks. The wheels and undercarriage of all delivery trucks are disinfected upon arrival and departure by on-board disinfecting units. Wenger's also has the ability to issue wash-down instructions or to dedicate trucks to farms should a problem arise. Wenger's network of mills in various locations also allows the company to continue making feed in other locations even if one location were to be disabled. The company has a business resumption plan in place that will allow us to continue operating even if avian influenza were to infect the United States. Finally, even in the event that avain influenza infects US poultry flocks, eggs and poultry meat will continue to be safe to eat. As the United States Food and Drug Administration notes, "There is no evidence that anyone has been infected with the Asian bird flu or other bird flu virus by eating properly cooked eggs or other cooked poultry products derived from infected birds. Cooking eggs until the whites and yolks are firm and cooking poultry to 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) will kill the bird flu virus if it is present. Nearly all of the more than 100 human cases of the Asian bird flu that have been diagnosed recently in Asia have had direct contact with infected chickens, ducks, turkeys, or their environment. This suggests that close contact with infected birds has been the primary route of transmission for the Asian bird flu infections, rather than eating food derived from infected birds. Although strains of bird flu virus like the Asian bird flu that cause severe disease in poultry can result in the contamination of egg shells and the inside of the egg (the yolk and albumen or the egg white), hens with severe bird flu usually stop laying eggs, so few contaminated eggs are likely to be marketed. Furthermore, the U. S. government has taken steps to prevent infected birds or their products, including their eggs, from entering the U.S. food supply."
