On Thursday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a joint statement reiterating that food and food packaging do not constitute the spread of the new coronavirus.
"We have strong confidence in food safety and, based on our current reliable scientific understanding and supported by overwhelming international scientific consensus, believe that it is highly unlikely that food and food packaging will spread the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2)," the statement said.
" is particularly noteworthy that neo-coronary pneumonia (COVID-19) is a human-to-human transmission of respiratory diseases, unlike food-borne or gastrointestinal viruses such as norovirus and hepatitis A.
relatively few cases of new coronavirus detected on food and packaging, most studies have focused on testing the genetic fingerprints of the virus rather than evidence of the virus in human transmission.
Theoretically, the number of virus particles obtained by touching the surface of an object is very rare, and the number of viruses required for infection by oral or inhalation is very high, so the chances of infection from contact with food or packaging are very low.
's latest opinion from the International Committee on Food Microbiology (ICMSF) shows that while billions of dishes and food packaging have been processed globally since the New Crown pandemic, so far there is no evidence that food, food packaging or food processing is an important route to spread the epidemic.
addition, there have been more than 100 million new coronavirus cases worldwide, and we have found no epidemiological evidence of the spread of the new coronavirus in food or food packaging.
no national or international testing system has blamed food or packaging for the spread of the virus.
in accordance with existing production practices and prevention mechanisms, the food business will continue to operate steadily to ensure a safe food supply, and good hygiene practices are the key to ensuring worker safety.
the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration are confident in the food safety of U.S. and international consumers, based on the scientific information available during the epidemic.
