A Manitoba turkey-breeding operation has tested positive for a strain of bird flu. Working with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Manitoba Agriculture has quarantined a farm. But they're not saying specifically where, just north of Winnipeg. Officials however say there is no evidence this is the Asian strain of H5N1 influenza, and there's been no human illness. Workers at the farm are being given "anti-virals" as a precaution. Both levels of government want you to know the human consumption of turkey products continues to be safe.
