The United States, the Department of Agriculture, Department of Homeland Security have very specifically in place barriers looking for illegal products. And there is officially, from the USDA, a prohibition of poultry, poultry products and parts from wild birds coming into the United States from these areas that are infected by high path H5N1. So it’s reassuring, I think, to the American customer and consumer is that, you know, it’s not a for sure deal it’s gonna come to the United States and we have in place firewalls to keep this virus out.
