Officials in Oregon confirmed to CBS News this month that the FDA had taken over the investigation.<\/p>\n<h2>Bird flu outbreaks in poultry and dairy herds<\/h2>\n<p>U.S. officials and farmers have braced in recent winters for an uptick in outbreaks, as migrating wild birds that spread the virus fly south from Canada.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This winter&#8217;s migration started around a month later than usual, U.S. officials say, delaying when the surge of bird flu began to hit farmers hard.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Apparently it was a very seasonally warm fall and early winter further north, and so that kept a lot of those birds up co-mingling with each other further north, before they started the fall migration,&#8221; said Alex Turner, the USDA&#8217;s national incident coordinator for the outbreak.<\/p>\n<p>Turner said they expect that could lead to the surge in bird flu subsiding a month later, as the amount of virus lingering in the environment from their migration starts to wind down.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now that they are predominantly kind of where they&#8217;re going to be for the winter, there&#8217;s a little bit less of that migratory movement and exposure,&#8221; said Turner.<\/p>\n<p>This is on top of ongoing outbreaks from a different strain that spilled over into dairy herds in 2023. That virus has spread back from cows to birds at nearby poultry farms in some cases.<\/p>\n<p>That may be what happened in Northwest Naturals. Oregon&#8217;s agriculture department said the strain in the turkey product was B3.13, the same as the bird flu virus fueling the dairy outbreaks.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p><!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/alexander-tin\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Alexander Tin<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Alexander Tin is a digital reporter for CBS News based in the Washington, D.C. bureau.
