Food is highly unlikely to be a source of Covid-19 contamination, experts say

A team of experts on food contamination says it is highly unlikely that food is a source of Covid-19 transmission.

The International Commission on Microbiological Specifications for Foods (ICMSF) looked at the evidence that coronavirus might be carried on food or its packing and found very little.

Their finding mirrors earlier reporting from the US Food and Drug Administration that there is no real risk of getting the virus that causes Covid-19 from food or food packaging.

"To date, there has not been any evidence that food, food packaging or food handling is a source or important transmission route for SARS-CoV-2 resulting in Covid-19," the organization said in a statement.

1. Triple Confirmed

Was already believed to be the case. And, the virus could never survive the cooking process.
Then, studies confirmed those assumptions.
Then, when the meat packing outbreaks occurred, the tests were repeated.
And, now again.
Gee, it's like what we really need to worry about is wearing a mask!

2. Right. This has been well known for months now.

3. Except for frozen food shipping containers

Those seem worrisome still. Not things you not I are likely to come in contact with, but aren’t they the suspected culprit for reemergence in NZ?

And China seems concerned. It regularly detects and rejects such shipments.

Idk, I’m watching for more news.
