— FDA FOOD April 16, 2020 It might be time to reconsider, experts say, especially if that extra effort is adding to your daily stress. Even the US Food and Drug Administration is re-emphasizing there's no real risk of getting the virus that causes Covid-19 that way."We want to assure you there is currently NO evidence of human or animal food or food packaging being associated with transmission of the #COVID19," the agency tweeted recently.
"Some people want to wear a belt and suspenders to hold their pants up, right?" Williams said. "So if people are concerned about virus transmission from groceries or take out food, just carefully remove the inside containers of food from the outer bag, throw away the outer bag and then use a little hand gel or soap and water. "But still, the odds of getting the virus that way are very, very low," Williams added.
