An outbreak of H5N1 in multiple states precipitated this assignment. The FDA is working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state partners to investigate and respond to the outbreak, which is impacting poultry, dairy cows, and people in the United States. The FDA’s sampling assignment complements research efforts that the agency is carrying out with its federal and state partners, as well as select research universities. Unlike the research efforts, the FDA’s sampling assignment is a regulatory activity.
