Is Coronavirus an Issue in Produce Production?

COVID19 virus

CDC, FDA and USDA have no reports at this time of human illnesses that suggest coronavirus can be transmitted by food or food packaging. Research on similar viruses, such as SARS and influenza, show risk of transmission from food is very low. While information on if or how long virus persists on surfaces is minimal, risk of foodborne transmission is low and should not be of concern. This flyer, written by Natalie Seymour, Mary Yavelak, Candice Christian, and Ben Chapman (NC State University Extension), provides answers to some frequently asked questions about coronavirus and produce production.

foods, cook to the right temperature, and refrigerate foods promptly) when handling or preparing foods.

Pi bon fason pou granmoun (kap pran swen lot moun) lave men yo

Lave men enpòtan pou redwi transfè jèm mikwòb ki soti nan matyè fekal oswa poupou pou ale nan bouch, ki ka lakoz maladi. Timoun piti ak granmoun aje yo gen mwens kapasite pou yo konbat jèm mikwòb pase lòt kategori moun. Kòm moun kap pran swen moun ou ka ede diminye risk maladi ki ka pwopaje nan anviwònman ki gen anpil moun lè w swiv bon jan metòd pou lave men w.

Pi bon fason pou timoun piti (ki gen laj pou ale lekol) lave men yo

Jèm yo ka kache anba zong ki long ak nan men ki sal. Kenbe zong ou kout epi lave men w souvan, se aksyon ki pi enpòtan ou ka poze pou anpeche jèm mikwòb fè w tonbe malad. Jèm ki bay maladi tankou larim, grip, dyare, ak vomisman ka vinn nan men w lè w manyen objè ki nan alantou w. Moun, animal domestik, manje kri, jwèt, tè, ak tout objè nou itilize plizyè fwa pa jou, yo tout ka gen jèm mikwòb sou yo. Lè w lave men w byen li ede retire jèm mikwòb nan men w.

Adecuado lavado de manos para manipuladores de alimentos

Hands washing kale in a sink. Photo taken 02-15-18.El lavado de manos es uno de los principales métodos utilizados para ayudar a prevenir enfermedades transmitidas por los alimentos. El lavado adecuado de las manos reducirá el riesgo de transmitir microorganismos, como bacterias, virus y otros agentes, que causan enfermedades a las personas que comen los alimentos que manipulas. Si necesita usar desinfectante para las manos, ¡siempre lávate las manos primero! La suciedad, los alimentos o cualquier otra cosa en las manos hacen menos eficaz el efecto del alcohol. ¡No use desinfectante para manos en lugar de lavarse las manos! This is the Spanish language version of Proper Hand Washing for Food Handlers (FCS8784Eng/FY726).
