CHILLIWACK — Another commercial poultry facility has been added to the list of farms where avian influenza has been detected in the Fraser Valley.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says more than 8.3 million birds have been culled in the province since a spike of infections in the spring of 2022.
That’s up from 7.6 million birds in an update earlier this week.
The agency says there is no evidence to suggest that eating cooked poultry or eggs could transmit the virus to humans.
