USDA Under Secretary for Marketing and Regulatory Programs Jenny Moffitt says USDA is keeping a close eye on foreign animal diseases that could affect markets. “When we had Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza this past year, we were working to make sure we continued to have access for our poultry products.” USDA is monitoring the disease closely as fall approachs. “As we go into fall migration, we might have another round so we’re preparing for another wave in the event avian influenza flares up again.” Moffitt was in Minnesota this past week for a local foods event.
