Largest U.S. egg producer got bird flu

- The largest egg producer in the United States said Tuesday that it temporarily ceased operations at one of its Texas facilities after detecting bird flu in chickens - the latest in a steady uptick of cases among U.S. farm animals in recent weeks.
Cal-Maine Foods said it culled about 1.6 million hens and 337,000 pullets (young hens) after some of its chickens at a Parmer County, Texas, facility tested positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), caused by influenza A viruses that spread widely among wild and domestic birds.
Officials have said the risk to human health remains low. But the CDC has warned that people with unprotected exposure to infected birds or other animals, including livestock, are at greater risk of infection. - ตลก

turns out when you keep hundreds of thousands of chickens in a dark, dirty, grassless pit they might not be healthy
I read the "Two *million* hens culled" line and thought about how that _just_ being at one company's Texas plants.

@@CaptnCrnchdon’t you mean eggsaggerate?
Monoculture is a larger problem with a lack of genetic diversity, making animals and plants in industrial farming widely susceptible to pathogens. Although the press hasn't given other similar out brakes of viral, bacterial and fungal infections on farming in the recent past. In 2019, pork prices rose in the US, when Swine Flu caused China to cull millions of hogs destined for our markets. We can't forget mad cow disease in the 1980's, can we? In 2021, 16 states suffered crop losses due to Cerearl Rust causing volatility and rising prices in the market. So you see, not only supply chain problems affect food prices. 😳
And then they have the gall to label any chicken based products as "cage free", since they aren't technically in cages.
I hate that this is one of the best ways for people to get news but I'm grateful for the work you guys do
I hate people consider the Washington post " news"
@@JackFromWyomingWoah appeal to authority fallacy in the wild :0
Just because youre a nurse, that doesn’t make you a reliable source of information
@@JackFromWyoming Should I trust a random youtube commenter who claims to be a nurse or a group of experts with plenty of proven experience and test results. Hmmmm such a hard choice.

Why was he eating a raw egg 😨
Can men have a little snack now and then?
Because Rocky did too... 😅
Omg he was gunna eat the raw egg like he eats spam!!! XD 😂 classic.
the raw isn't the issue it's the shell
Because he’s free to do as he wishes, because he’s an American
That's why eggs and dairy products were being pulled from my work in the last couple weeks. They never tell us why.
they literally just told you why. quit the paranoia, though the paranoia is warranted at times
Fr? Here in Europe groceries are required to put a recall note in a standardized A4 layout paper with images and reasons right at the cashiers. Wild that this isn’t global
@@marcusbonilla5122 An unaffiliated third party spread the news, the news should've been available at the grocery store " Recently some of our stock of Milk, Eggs, Chicken and Cheese products were under scrutiny for Avian Flu transmission, please be sure to fully cook any listed product you may have purchased from this business in the last 2 months, any uncooked products are unlikely to have caused harm, however it would be best to monitor your condition over the next 3 weeks if you have consumed uncooked products"
@@marcusbonilla5122I think he was referring to his work not telling him why
That should be a red flag for work.

Bird flu? … yeah, they tend to do that.
not chickens no
@@Shoob__ yes they can but not very long.
Ha

Lol
Yup been dealing with bird flu here in the Netherlands for a while and honestly 2 mil chickens doesn’t even shock me anymore.
😢
😢
😢
What's going on in the Netherlands?
honestly, if a bit grimly, curious; what does one even do with the corpses of two million suspected infected chickens? how do you go about disposing of that much biomass?
I want my own CDC angel
Just gotta check their press releases and you will!
That would help avoid so many, uh.. "tummy aches".. yes.
Do your own research and educate yourself, instead of blindly trusting others to keep you safe. As we've recently seen, they may have other "interests".
@@logicplague Like trying everyone to buy their "vaccines"
@@logicplague k
That means 2 million birds were kept in close proximity. That's insane. That many of anything shouldn't be kept in one place.
No, that’s not what it means, bird flu can be airborne and easily spread to a farm 40 miles away if you happen to drive by it off an infected farm
Maybe we should learn that massively intensive animal agriculture is not a good idea. We gotta stop cramming thousands of animals jnto dirty sheds and being suprised when disease spreads
no, we should continue spending billions on subsidizing these businesses, lobbying doctors to tell us that animal products are very healthy and necessary and literally steal from farmers
This flu effects free range and wild birds. Multiple wold birds in wild life sanctuaries have died in 100s.
Keeping them like that isn't the cause plus having them be "organic" is more damaging than how it normally is done.
I know how the chicken plants work and what people say is organic eggs in the store have more chickens die than normal
Hey fellow vegan! 🎉
@@AmelpsXettand discouraging technological innovation within the agriculture and livestock industries, perpetuating highly inefficient and environmentally damaging methods of growing food 🥰
@@cataclyx you have no idea what goes on at farms and it shows
I love their skits together !!
I’m in one of the 4 US states where avian flu has jumped to cattle. Thrilling… I’ll keep to pasta, grains, and beans for now, I think.
you could go vegan.
listen to how virologists talk about the animal industry. it's horrifying,
and if you care about animal abuse listen to the screams from the gaschaimbers we use.
look in to their eyes, full of fear and confusion before they are slaughtered.
can we live without animal products?YES
does it take less resources and land? YES
no need to waste our antibiotics to create super bugs.
less water use.
better for the enviroment.
more compassionate towards both non human animals and human animals.

What’s raw cheese?
Cheese made from unpasteurized milk
Some weirdos have started calling unpasteurised dairy products ‘raw’. Please never, ever eat or drink unpasteurised dairy products, you can get all sorts of diseases, especially bovine tuberculosis. Ignore people who talk about how ‘good farms’ will avoid that. Disease can spread even if the animals are in good conditions.
We buy eggs from local farms anyways. So nothing to worry about.
Also we are Slavic, we cook the shit out of our food 😂
I dont know how long its been there.. but the devilled egg on the window sill; you should eat that.
nice
I like the laughing guy in red more than the cdc angle
So by "angle" do you maybe mean the point of view the CDC lady has or do you mean the *angel*
No wonder eggs went up in price
As a chicken farmer thats not the reason
That's not the reason why
@@koala7258 May not be THE reason, but could be A reason, right? I mean, farmers culling sick hens could lead to less eggs down the road.
@@nathanaeld.striker7191 its a very very slight amount maybe a penny per carton of eggs or so
The big issue is the regulations and threats being made to farmers by left wing politicians that force us to drive up the cost or sell all our land and since the second would leave us jobless and homeless its not a viable option
We can verify the disease isn’t the issue because one it’s always a problem all sorts of birds get into the chickens feed so chickens will naturally be affected so the price would have already been going up
Secondly the price of beef milk and pork also went way up
Its just farmers trying to survive as the political left tries to shut us down completely
@@nathanaeld.striker7191lol watch he’s going to mention Joe Biden next
Glad my dad has a dozen hens in his hobby coup. They love the backyard bugs and my dad shoves eggs my way anytime I’m there.
What is determined to be raw cheese 🤔
Its cheese made from unpasteurized milk
@@joeyh9859 ahhh, okay thank you
Tastes REALLY good too. Canadians have it. Look up Cheese Curds, but they taste better since its unpasteurized.
@@RemoteCamper oh okay, I've had plenty of cheese curds. I've just never associated that with raw cheese.
The H5N1 flu has spread from birds to cows. People who drink raw milk or eat cheese made from raw milk are at risk of catching Avion flu.
Ah yes, my daily snack of a raw egg still in its shell that I intend to eat like an apple 😂
Who would have guessed that building a torture camp with millions of animals would cause problems?
to be expected from good ol’ Texas where corporations can do whatever they want even if it means disregarding basic food safety for more profits
And California, and Minnesota....
Tell me you understand how the system works for large scale without telling me.
Sounds Intentional!
🤦
@@thechannel2975 I mean, to be fair, a lot of the ingredients, additives and such that are legal in the US are completely banned in Europe. Our food standards in the US are shit.
After covid, I would never trust the CDC
Okay Wendy
Hahaha. I have my own chickens which have been vaccinated🎉🎉🎉
And presumably you don't have 2MM of them locked in dark, dirty cages.
@@GSBarlev nope. We have 4, free ranging on a half acre with a wonderfully large coop and organic feed
Plant-based egg substitutes don't get bird flu either.
If it's possible to vaccinate them, why isn't that more widely done? Seems like a pretty dramatic problem 😬
@@michawhite7613but they make you grow breasts, go bald, and lower testosterone.
The guy on the right shoulder makes a pretty compelling case…
Or just responsibly raise your own or know someone locally who does. Stop relying on these giant producers to keep their operations clean and their animals healthy when the very methods they use are the reason why they get sick in the first place. Keeping animals in cramped conditions surrounded by their own excretions is not how animals deserve to live.
While yes you should just buy local because Fun Fact. Organic eggs in the store have a higher death rate than normal set up. WHICH btw has the crap fall below the chickens as it's separate with them above and crap below. Organic which so many dam Cali people want have the chicken crap laying around with them plus them going outside leads to higher death rate and less egg yeld.
Depends on what type of farm it is and you could literally have birds pooping on each other and it wouldn’t change there chances of getting bird flu it’s tracked into the barn by an unsuspecting farmer, and then gets airborne in the barn which causes it to spread, if I had 100 birds on a 1000 acres of land just running around they would actually be more susceptible to it
It’s often illegal.
@@thechannel2975 Please learn to use punctuation and full sentences. It really helps with communicating effectively.
I have had chickens for years that roam freely. My egg production ebbs and flows with the seasons like nature intended. Sometimes they die due to predation, sometimes disease. This is natural and effective at weeding out the weak links in the flock. Life is not meant to cater to human business models. When life gives you shit, make fertilizer.
@@NateB Keep it secret. Keep it safe.
Yes, this definitely the government looking out for us and not the powers that be trying to centralize the food supply.
STOP.
NOTICING.
Started baking with flax eggs during the last egg issue. Haven’t gone back. It’s super easy.
Well everyone can expect chicken and egg prices to skyrocket again
Which will skyrocket first?
The chicken, or the egg?
Weird how the only state thats protesting the government is experiencing all of these unrelated tragedies huh
Don’t question it.
And up goes the price of eggs … more corporate profits
Egg prices will not increase because of this. It won't effect the business pretty much at all and this flu has been around for a long time. The middle man that buys the eggs from them increase the price when ever they want.
Now i understand why there was sales for milk cheese and eggs last week..
Industrial farming in the Netherlands has made bird flu outbreaks extremely common. Billions of birds have been culled over the past few years. You would think this would result in laws or policies to help reduce the risks but the opposite is true. A political party of bio industry lobbyists recently became one of the biggest parties in the country and has been pushing for less restrictions on farmers and farming related businesses. Experts have reported that a human targeting, covid-like pathogen is almost guaranteed to be spawned from one of these outbreaks
Ha a government agency being an angel!!!🤣🤣🤣 Good one!
Isn’t WaPo practically a CIA press conference at this point?
the devil: eat a raw egg. just... eat it
ha!
"Okay"
Thanks tiny CDC angel
Looks like I'm bumping my eggs back up to $5 again!
A fantastic collaboration. 😊
Wasn't Cal-Maine the company that got dinged for price fixing?
Animals get culled every year if they even *suspect* a pathogen. The fact we're hearing about this means that quality control works.
Based
I won't be able to afford eggs this year.
We get shit like this every couple of months, just follow safe eating and cooking habits (washing hands, checking food temperatures, etc) and you’ll be fine. It’s more of a risk to farmers and processing plant workers than consumers.
Watch egg prices really skyrocket now.
that raw dairy influencer girl who drinks 1000 calories of raw heavy cream for breakfast and calls it healthy is shaking rn
Note that we know a source of inflation, do you think we are supposed to find out the mechanism of contamination?
*cough cough* my (favorite and the BEST) news source *cough cough*
We raise our own chicken for reasons like this
That 2 million is off by 400,000 hens which is a lot
Waiting for that model that drinks unpasteurized milk lol
I used to work on a turkey farm and from my memory, it's kinda easy for bird flu to get around.
I like how, at the end, the scriptwriters threw in foods that have NOTHING to do with avian flu.
Coincidentially, there is also an outbreak of avian flu at a farm here in the Philippines.
ITS THE APOCALYPSE
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
The amount of people in the comments ready to spout nonsense on a topic they actually know nothing about is shocking, I manage a poultry farm in Canada, reply if you have any questions
How do you see events like this affecting food prices over the coming year?
Is it illegal for my neighbor to just get hens and sell me the spare eggs?
“The bird flu? Yeah they tend to do that”
It’s a good thing i got 43 chickens in a large coop and lots of comfort for them so I don’t really need to worry about eggs got some yesterday got about 24 to 26 eggs
I love mom and dad.
"Direct unprotected exposure"
So....does this mean i need to use a condom?
Also keep in mind 2 million is a small number when you consider scope.
I have that same plate!
If anyone wants to learn better about this issue feel free tk comment below. I worked for this company and i can tell you the flu wont effect prices as its happened multiple times.
Along with how organic eggs for these businesses kill more chickens than standard layouts. Its very horrible how people in cali complain which cause fhe fda to change how its lay out leading to higher deaths and more sickness.
From what i can tell Organic farming at scale is all bullshit.
A family raising a handful of chickens and pigs and such for their own use. Yeah whatever. Fine.
As soon as you scale it up to anything that can feed a sizable population organic farming makes no sense whatsoever.
Sorry, as far as I'm concerned you lost all credibility after that last fiasco. I wouldn't trust you if you reported a sunrise.
Im in Minnesota, and our farm got bird flu 1-2 years ago...
So i think im the one they're talking about 😂
We culled out flock (30 birds) and destroyed and burried the (20 dozen) eggs that were in our fridge and chicken boddies under 6 inches of dirt or more...
I caed thw DNR when multiple birds were dying each day, they came and agreed we had Avian Flu on the property (they paid us arpund $15 per chicken and like 30 cents an egg to kill/destroy them)
(Warning next part is about cats dying)
My twin 1 year old cats both caught it and died also..😢 they said it was the firat case they knew of jumping to cats...
Then i spent 90+ hours awake and trying to keep the cats alive... i can't think about it or ill cry, it was the most traumatic thing ive gone thru.
I shot video of it but i cant/wont watch it (recorded for educational purposes) just incaae a veterinarian wanted the information
Anyways i say this to say
DONT LET YOUR CATS EAT DEAD BIRDS... (not that thats what caused mine) because they might be dead from Avian flu...
If they kill it themselves its probably 10 times less likely to have the disease
Gonna see food prices skyrocket again.
That "Ok" had me laugh so hard xD
AAAAND PAY MORE FOR EGGS, And chickens.
“Avoid raw and undercooked food”
Let’s be honest. We’re all still going to be eating raw cookie dough.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU CK no.
Who in their right mind eats raw cookie dough?
Besides it's ACTUALLY the flour that makes it risky. I'm dead serious. When I make friends and family edible cookie dough the most important step is baking or microwaving the flour first.
@@strawmanfallacyand skip the egg in it
Meh. An egg that will make you sick is so nasty you're unlikely to want to eat it. Egg residue left out on other stuff is a more common source of illness. Raw egg is actually pretty safe unless it smells bad
Plant based cookie though yes, because eating eggs that come from factories is unethical
@@strawmanfallacy I always eat raw cookie dough, because it is, in my mind, absolutely worth the risk of salmonella It is extremely delicious.
That thought in your head that suggest you do something bad even though you know the end result 😢
"That egg on the windowsill... I don't know how long it's been there but you should eat it."
snork
Aw i don't want egg prices to go up again:(
It's been reported that it won't effect egg prices and tbh during covid when eggs went up that was straight BS and shouldn't have happened. There wasn't no shortage of eggs going around. Even large scale egg plants will get fed over by the middle man than buys and sells to retail stores
The bird flu?
Yeah, they tend to do that
Appreciation for eat it guy. He gets it.
Glad I have my own chickens.
Illegal
@@NateB What is illegal?
Knew a family who were really into raw milk, the 3 yr old, 6 yr old, mother, father, and aunt died of TB, E. Coli combo leaving the 2 teen girls
These collabs are awesome
Edit: wait a minute... YOU'RE ALL THE SAME CHANNEL
The price of eggs going up, the price of chicken going up, egg poisoning could kill you, chicken poisoning could kill you, I'm serving veganism, does anyone want some?
Both in Denver, & in a small town in southern NewMexico, local eggs from antibiotic-free pasture raised chickens or ducks, cost less than a pack from the grocery... Seems weird to buy factory-farmed eggs instead
I’m always worried about bird flu outbreaks as I keep ducks as pets. Bird flu is very common every spring and sometimes fall as birds migrate. Spreads rapidly. I’m surprised it took this long to get into a plant
Why don't you blame the USA for not pasteurizing their eggs?
Good thing I'm up in Canada because all those things listed that are at risk for you guys down south are things that we produce at home in Canada
species-appropriate animal husbandry and hygiene standards can prevent this to grow into a problem. But of course that would make the eggs 5 cent more expensive each...
dino nuggets are about to go down in price.
My parents just gave me a whole carton of eggs their chickens layed, good timing I guess
I dont know they both make such good points
The bird flu? They tend to do that
Lol who cares what the cdc says anymore? They proved they basically guess at everything.
And are on the take
So egg prices are skyrocketing
All this is so we eat their lab grown meats.
It’s so much more sustainable!
@@NateB no I don't believe it is.
Okay I can do without the raw eggs and meat, but I’m siding with red shirt on the cheese part
Why not just ban all the things?
Poor chickens 😢
I love this PR shorts angle WAPO has been developing. Its just the perfect amount of cringe and delightful.
And prices of these things are gonna go up
If you cook your food properly then it doesnt even matter...
RIP to egg prices
(Well, even more…)
What am i supossed to eat then? Meat wise
Meat wise.
Lamb wise, too
Bacon only wise if organic
Meat maek stein stronk
But some meat no safe
Again? Did they cut safety standards....?
Why are you so quick to rule out industrial sabotage?
I didn't know we and cows were birds too.
Not again with the eggs…
So many farms will go out of business because of the monopolies over this. Hopefully it doesnt spread
Does anyone else remember when people thought bird flu was a Chinese conspiracy
Sometimes conspiracy theories and suspicions turn out to be well founded assessments of risks.
