Japan has suspended imports of all Australian chicken meat and eggs after avian influenza was reported on a farm in Victoria.

Up to 10,000 ducks have been destroyed on two farms north of Melbourne after H5 LPAI strain was found last Friday, January 27th.

Now the Japanese Government has responded by not allowing any Australian poultry products, including meat and eggs, nor egg derived products, like cake and icecream.
