Highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza was confirmed at a commercial poultry farm near Garstang, Lancashire, and another commercial farm near Pocklington, East Riding of Yorkshire. Authorities established protection and surveillance zones and ordered the poultry at both sites to be culled; the outbreaks bring the UK’s total for the 2026–27 season to six.
Culling and movement restrictions remove birds from the local supply chain, tightening poultry availability in affected areas. The outbreaks are unlikely to shift broader market prices on their own.
