The United States and Canada have lifted bans on imports of some French poultry products, deeming them safe after a vaccination campaign for ducks against bird flu, which has been going on since 2023.
“After more than a year of negotiations, French authorities have succeeded in convincing the US and Canadian authorities of the safety of HPAI vaccination," the French agriculture ministry said Monday in a statement, referring to Highly pathogenic avian influenza, the virus known as bird flu.
