No, any fear of the sort is unsubstantiated. Bird flu so far has only been transmitted to humans after close contact with diseased or dead birds. It's very unlikely that tomato powder, even if it is produced in China, will contain any trace of virus. Get some more information on bird flu here : http://www.bird-flu-center.com and keep watching the news to know if the disease has been spotted in your area.

No, at this point you would have to come in contact with an infected bird
