Questions and answers (European Commission) Can I do something in my own home to minimize any possible risk of food transmitting the virus responsible for COVID-19?Yes.

First of all it is especially important to wash your hands very well with hot soapy water, before and after making the purchase, a gesture that will protect you and protect others.It is just as important that you strictly apply the hygiene rules in your kitchen that usually protect you against food poisoning.Store your food properly (any contact between raw and cooked foods should be avoided), discard the outer packaging before storage (for example outer carton when there is inner plastic packaging), and be sure to pay attention to key information such as the expiration date.Systematically wash fruits and vegetables with clean water, especially if you are not going to cook them (if they are cooked, COVID-19 does not survive).Avoid contamination through kitchen utensils (knives, plates, etc.) by carefully washing them with detergent each time you use them for a different food ingredient.Respect the cooking instructions (time and temperature) of the corresponding foods.Wash your hands with hot soapy water before you start preparing or cooking food, as well as after you have prepared it.The refrigerator and kitchen surfaces should be cleaned routinely, albeit more frequently than before.The precautions against COVID-19 should not make you forget the usual rules for avoiding food poisoning when cooking at home, which are still valid and protect you against foodborne illnesses that could put an additional burden on healthcare centers.
