鳥インフルエンザに関する情報 | 消費者庁

This page provides information from Japan's Consumer Affairs Agency regarding avian influenza. Eating meat or eggs from infected chickens poses no risk of virus transmission to humans. The virus cannot bind to human cell receptors and is inactivated by stomach acid. Japan implements strict measures: infected chickens are culled, preventing contaminated products from reaching markets. Eggs undergo sterilization and disinfection, while chicken meat is inspected at processing facilities with diseased birds excluded. Consumers are advised to maintain standard hygiene practices.
