Questions and answers (European Commission) What is the risk of COVID-19 infection through food packaging?Although, according to a recent study, the causative agent of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) has been shown to persist for 24 hours on cardboard and several days on hard surfaces, such as steel and plastics, in experimental settings.

(eg with controlled relative humidity and temperature), there is no evidence that contaminated containers that have been exposed to different conditions and temperatures transmit the infection.However, to address concerns that the virus on the skin may be transferred to the respiratory system (for example, by touching the face), people handling containers, including consumers, should follow the guidance of public health authorities.

regarding good hygiene practices, such as regular and effective hand washing.Is the agri-food industry taking steps to prevent the food it produces or distributes from becoming contaminated with the virus?There are already strict hygiene rules governing food production in the EU, the application of which is subject to official controls.All food companies must apply them.The hygiene controls that must be carried out by food business operators are designed to avoid contamination of the food by any pathogen, so avoiding contamination of the food by the virus responsible for COVID-19 will also be one of its objectives.It is mandatory that those who work in the food industry periodically carry out training actions, so that they know how to work in a hygienic way.Among the good hygiene practices required in all phases of food production, it is particularly important to clean and, where appropriate, disinfect food production facilities and equipment between one production batch and the next, avoid contamination cross between food categories and foods at different stages of the process (for example between raw food and cooked food), personal hygiene, such as washing and disinfecting hands, wearing gloves and masks when necessary, using hygienic clothing and footwear specific, or staying home, instead of going to work, when someone feels sick.Furthermore, in the current context, food companies must limit their external contacts to what is strictly necessary, among other things, maintaining a safe distance from suppliers or carriers.
