The agency says the flu has been detected at two more premises in Abbotsford and Chilliwack, both of which have seen multiple cases since October.
The CFIA says avian influenza is not a food safety concern, and there is no evidence to suggest that eating cooked poultry or eggs could transmit it to humans.
“The CFIA currently lists 41 premises in Canada where the flu has been detected in bird flocks, with 37 of those in B.C.”
