The agency stressed that the material is inactivated and that the findings /wp-json/wp/v2/posts/4271294/u201cdo not represent actual virus that may be a risk to consumers./wp-json/wp/v2/posts/4271294/u201d Officials added that they/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/4271294/u2019re continuing to study the issue./wp-json/wp/v2/posts/4271294/n

The announcement comes nearly a month after an avian influenza virus that has sickened millions of wild and commercial birds in recent years was detected in dairy cows in at least eight states. The Agriculture Department says 33 herds have been affected to date./wp-json/wp/v2/posts/4271294/n
