FDA testing aged raw cow's milk cheese for bird flu

The Food and Drug Administration has started testing aged cheese made from raw cow's milk for bird flu contamination, it announced on Monday.
The testing began on December 23 as part of an investigation into an outbreak of Avian Influenza A , commonly known as bird flu.

The CDC states that the general risk to the public is low, with no evidence of the virus passing between humans, but it has mutated recently.
