The company clarified that this disruption is unrelated to the bird flu outbreak affecting chicken farms in Victoria. Despite concerns about avian influenza impacting egg supplies and poultry, industry experts assure the public that there is no egg shortage and that poultry products remain safe to consume.
While online rumors and conspiracy theories have circulated regarding the outbreak’s impact on food supplies and potential government actions, experts emphasize that the risk to human health in Australia is low. The strains of bird flu detected in Victoria are distinct from the more dangerous H5N1 strain spreading elsewhere. Authorities and industry leaders have been working together effectively to manage the situation and ensure food safety.
