The COVID-19 pandemic is not only a challenge for public health and hospitals, but affects many aspects of our societies. This Lilliput minireview deals with problems that the pandemic causes for the food industry, addressing the presence and persistence of SARS-CoV-2 in the food environment, methods of virus inactivation and the protection of the food worker and the consumer. So far food has not been implicated in the transmission of the infection, but social disruptions caused by the pandemic could cause problems with food security.
COVID-19 大流行不仅对公共卫生和医院构成挑战,还影响到我们社会的许多方面。这篇利立浦特小综述探讨了大流行给食品行业带来的问题,涉及 SARS-CoV-2 在食品环境中的存在和持久性、病毒灭活方法以及食品工人和消费者的保护。到目前为止,还没有证据表明食物会传播感染,但大流行造成的社会混乱可能会导致食品安全问题。
