They have recalled the food, but there seems to be no action by the FDA 
or USDA to protect the human food supply.  The pet food company got 
their chicken from a free range farm.  If this farm sold them infected 
chickens that means that they also put infected chickens into the human 
food chain, but the FDA and USDA are not responding.  There is no 
attempt to figure out how widespread this is when it may have happened 
once before, but that was never confirmed.  It wasn't even investigated 
as to whether the turkey farm involved in the last pet food recall had 
been infected or if it was the beef bones used in the pet food.

They need to start warning consumers that they need to treat poultry and 
raw beef products with care.  They need to wash their hands after 
dealing with the raw meat, and should not touch their face or eyes 
before washing their hands.

Now that the D1.1 genotype is infecting poultry flocks and dairy farms 
the situation is worse.
