For those concerned about bird flu. You can take measures if you are concerned in the short term. 1. If you drink milk, use ultra pasteurized style 2. If you drink regular milk, boil it for 1 minute 3. Yogurt is likely safe because it is heated to 185°F (80°C) for 20 minutes. 4. Ice cream uses regular pasteurized milk. Freezing preserves the virus indefinitely. I would avoid until the USDA determines it safe.
@Dave_it_up Old school subs: Powdered milk, spray-dried at 180-200° F. Canned evaporated milk, processed at 240° F. Some cheeses (sharp, extra sharp) are aged & I presume probably safe for now, such as Tillamook ES aged 15 mos.
@Mds97402 That’s really helpful, thanks! At some point I’m going to have to compile the whole thing I’ve learned in this series of tweets into a new one.
