Nutritious habits that last a lifetime.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has released guidelines on food safety and COVID-19 to help ease fears regarding food during this stressful time. Per the FDA, there is no evidence that COVID-19 can be transmitted by food or food packaging as COVID-19 is a respiratory illness, not a sickness that affects the GI tract. There has been no significant connection between food packaging and the transmission of COVID-19, whether it be from takeout or from grocery store packaging. Consider these facts when grocery shopping and ordering takeout!
