AS THE COVID-19 pandemic continues to upend daily life around the world, concerns about the food supply grow. And it’s not just about the ability of food producers to get their products into the hands of people who need them. There’s also the concern whether the act of passing food from one person to another might result in transmission of the novel coronavirus.
While it’s not unfounded to wonder whether you can get sick with COVID-19 from your food, experts agree: The evidence we have so far points to food being safe from coronavirus fears.
Eggs
Time to crack down! Eggs are among the foods we throw out most often. It’s best to keep them in their original carton. The handy caddy that came with your fridge lets odors seep through the thousands of tiny pores that cover the shell. Eggs also stay fresh longer on the shelf than your refrigerator door, where the temperature dips and rises.
Berries
Resist the urge to wash the dusty carton of berries when you get home from the farmers market. Instead, rinse them quickly under the faucet just before use, or enjoy them right away. Store the rest in the fridge in a container lined with paper towels to absorb moisture. If you wash them first, the dampness will spoil the fruit more quickly.
