Supermarkets have been given permission to sell frozen turkeys as fresh as avian flu has put turkeys at risk this Christmas.
It comes as industry bosses revealed that 600,000 of the 1.2million free range birds due to be sold for Christmas have either died or been culled as a result of the major outbreak.
Now, certain rules have been eased to allow birds to be slaughtered early and defrosted before they’re sold in supermarkets.
