Fears have been raised over this year's Christmas dinners amid a new bird flu outbreak.
More than half of all farm geese destined for dinner tables this Christmas have been culled after another outbreak of bird flu, it emerged today. Government vets confirmed the outbreak at a farm in Breckland, Norfolk, the county's fourth case in the last week.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said all 12,000 geese at the farm will be humanely culled. A 3km Protection Zone and 10km Surveillance Zone were put in place around the premises, it added.
