Qwestion:	Can I become infected with the bird flu by consuming eggs or other poultry products from infected birds?
Answer:	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 food to 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) will kill bird flu virus if it is present.
