To the question “is it safe to eat pork?”, The World Health Organization (WHO) answers: yes. In a document written last Saturday and listing the main questions raised by the cases of swine flu that have appeared in Mexico and the United States, the WHO indicates that the virus is destroyed at a temperature of 70 ° C reached in preparations made from pork meat.
Health Minister Roselyne Bachelot also indicated on RTL on Sunday that one should not stop eating pork. “The virus is extremely sensitive to heat and you obviously cannot catch the flu from eating an animal, including an infected one,” said the minister.
