Here are a couple of FAQs, answered:
Can food be a carrier of COVID-19?
No. There is currently no evidence to suggest that COVID-19 can spread through food. The novel coronavirus mainly spreads through respiratory droplets, when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
Is ordering from restaurants safe right now?
Ordering in food is as safe as ordering in groceries, getting your milk delivered every morning, or receiving your newspaper at your doorstep. In fact, ordering in well-cooked food may actually be safer than a lot of the other things that make it home. This is because strains from the coronavirus family are susceptible to temperatures above 700C.
That means heat can potentially kill the novel coronavirus, and cooking at high temperatures makes food safe – whether it’s cooked at home or anywhere else.
Is meat safe from COVID-19 contamination?
No global report has found poultry and other meat to be a carrier of COVID-19. Thus, meat that’s prepared safely and hygienically may be considered safe.
Is food packaging susceptible to COVID-19 contamination? Can handling it transmit the virus?
Coronaviruses have poor susceptibility on surfaces. This means that the risk of transmission from food packaging is very low.
