Avian flu: CFIA confirms disease has spread to a 5th Fraser Valley farm

But world markets have reacted to the B.C. outbreak, leading to several countries including the U.S., South Africa Japan, South Korea and China to impose trade restrictions on poultry and poultry products from all of Canada.
A ban in Hong Kong covers any poultry meat or products from the entire Fraser Valley Regional District. Hong Kong imported 7,000 tonnes of frozen poultry and about 170,000 poultry eggs from Canada between January and October of this year.
Hong Kong has had its own problems with avian flu, including an H5N1 outbreak in 2011 that lead to the slaughter of more than 19,000 birds and a ban on the sale of live poultry for three weeks.
