Can cooked chicken have avian flu?

summary

Avian influenza is a respiratory infectious disease caused by a subtype of influenza A virus, which is classified as class A infectious disease by the International Bureau of zoology. The pathogens can be divided into three categories: highly pathogenic, low pathogenic and non pathogenic avian influenza. Chicken is the essential protagonist on our table, but in recent years, the epidemic of avian influenza makes us have more scruples about eating chicken. So, eating cooked chicken will be infected with avian influenza? I'd like to share my views with you.

Can cooked chicken have avian flu?

First of all: avian influenza virus can exist in poultry meat, eggs and feces, but the virus can be basically killed by heating at 56 ℃ for 30 minutes, 60 ℃ for 10 minutes and 70 ℃ for several minutes. The virus can be killed after the poultry meat is cooked thoroughly. If it is not cooked thoroughly, the virus may enter the human body.

Secondly, when you cook chicken, you must cook it thoroughly to ensure that all the viruses are killed. In addition, you should also pay attention to the prevention of avian influenza in your life: 1. When choosing chicken, you should choose one with immune license to avoid buying sick or dead chicken. 2. Keep indoor air circulation and try to avoid going to places with no air circulation. Pay attention to personal hygiene. Cover your mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing. Keep the room clean, use washable floor mats and avoid carpets that are difficult to clean.

Finally: relevant experimental studies have shown that even if you eat the meat and eggs of cooked sick chickens, you will not be infected with avian influenza virus, so you can eat chicken at home. But if you buy frozen chicken outside, you'd better not eat it during the period of avian flu.

matters needing attention

The disease can also be infected through the digestive tract. If you eat the meat and its products and eggs of diseased birds, water and food contaminated by diseased birds, or if you use tableware and drinking utensils contaminated by diseased birds, or if you are careful to eat with contaminated hands, you will easily get sick if you are infected. We should also pay attention to the fact that the eggshell may be contaminated by the chicken manure of the sick chicken, and there may be virus in the chicken manure, so the eggshell should be washed with running water, and at the same time, we should pay attention to hand washing.
