Food Safety in the Coronavirus Pandemic

This project was written to provide resources for consumers and industry on food safety for food deliveries with considerations for COVID-19. There are on going, mandated shutdowns across the United States causing the rates of food deliveries to rapidly increase with no signs of slowing down. While there is no documented evidence that COVID-19 can be spread from food or food packaging, the virus can live on surfaces and be transmitted from person-to-person contact. The following handouts were created to support the Virginia Cooperative Extension’s (VCE) repository of COVID Food Safety resources.
