The USDA reported the detection of bird flu virus in tissue samples from a dairy cow sent for slaughter, with no contamination of the meat supply. The virus was also found in beef from another sick cow, emphasizing the risks of consuming raw milk from infected cows. The CDC is monitoring the situation closely, as the outbreak has spread to multiple states and infected dairy herds.
