Here are the full details:
The largest fresh egg producer in the US, Cal-Maine Foods, Inc., has temporarily halted production at a Texas plant after detecting bird flu in chickens.
Approximately 1.6 million laying hens and 337,000 pullets were destroyed to contain the spread of the infection, which represents about 3.6% of the company's total flock.
The company has stated that there is no known bird flu risk associated with eggs currently on the market, and no eggs have been recalled.
