This is Food Safety in a Minute with Expert Tips from Susie Craig.

Given the price of eggs, are you thinking about a backyard chicken coop? “Don’t wing it,” says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Carefully consider whether backyard chickens are a good fit. 

Before getting birds:
•	Check neighborhood regulations.
•	Research breeds and supplies used to care for them.
•	Secure an outdoor coop with heat source and fire alarm.
•	Locate poultry veterinarians and university Extension experts.
•	Pick a location for young birds easily cleaned and disinfected. 
•	Secure bedding, feed and supplements, feeder, and water.
•	Purchase cleaning supplies including brushes, soap and disinfectants made especially for poultry. 
•	Identify and take steps to keep you and your family safe; Work gloves, hand washing, using a dedicated pair of shoes.

This is Susie Craig. Welcome to Food Safety in a Minute.
Backyard chickens are often central to family life and your food budget. With the ongoing outbreak of bird flu, however, consumers have important responsibilities protecting birds, their families, and potential spread to commercial flocks. There have been confirmed cases of bird flu in backyard flocks, likely spread to your flock by wild birds. 
Learn what it takes to raise poultry successfully and safely. Search online for Defend the Flock Resource Center from the United States Department of Agriculture. Resources are available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Arabic. They include checklists for your backyard coop, tips to keep your flock healthy, and checklists to protect your flock against wild birds, rodents, and insects. 

From Washington State University Extension, I’m Susie Craig.

Beatrice speaks with Jane Thomason of National Nurses United (NNU) about the Trump administration’s disbanding of the CDC’s HICPAC committee, the body that oversees infection control practices across the healthcare industry — and a committee that Jane was briefly involved with as part of an advisory workgroup since last summer. We also discuss the Trump administration’s staggering cuts across NIOSH, a key agency for workplace health and safety protections, and their significance within the broader “MAHA” agenda.

Jane Thomason is NNU’s lead industrial hygienist. She was last on the show in March 2024 and August 2023 to speak about a campaign against proposed infection control cuts being considered by HICPAC, after which she was added to a HICPAC workgroup that May. Jane returns today now that, with HICPAC disbanded, she’s once again able to speak more openly about committee deliberations.

In this week's update, we begin with an overview of the tragic shooting at Fort Stewart in Georgia. We then shift over to Friday's shooting on the CDC campus in Atlanta. Police believe the suspect was motivated by a belief he was injured by the COVID-19 vaccine. This incident took place just two days after HHS Secretary pulled research funding for mRNA vaccines because of the dangers they pose.  We also take a look the President's decision to deploy federal law enforcement to patrol the streets of Washington, DC.
