The virus in question in the current outbreak of human influenza is a new strain of influenza virus H1N1. The transmission of influenza virus is usually by direct contact or close proximity with humans or animals infected. EFSA has no scientific evidence suggesting that influenza viruses can be transmitted to humans through consumption of meat such as pork products and pork.

Although pigs are exposed to this new virus and it can be found in meat, thorough cooking of pork (an internal temperature of 70 ° C) would kill the virus, as is the case for other viruses and bacteria.

EFSA has no scientific evidence indicating the existence of a risk from influenza virus to consumers of pork meat, regardless of the type of pork consumed. However, even if some consumers enjoy raw meat, it has long been recommended to avoid consumption, so as to avoid any risk of food borne illness. Thorough cooking of meat can kill bacteria or viruses may be present in food stuffs. It is always advisable to practice proper food hygiene in the kitchen, wash hands and clean all surfaces and utensils with soap after handling raw meat.
