严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）很容易在人与人之间传播，这助长了正在进行的大流行。不同国家的政府采取了彻底封锁等严厉行动。然而，食品安全及其与冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行的潜在联系却很少受到关注。SARS-CoV-2从工作人员传播到食品或食品表面是可以想象的。至少，与其食用无包装或无盖的食品，不如食用高温加工的水煮或罐头食品。在食用前，消费者应清洁罐头食品的表面。除了建议或强制执行简单的预防措施，如使用口罩，各国政府必须定期和间歇地对处理食品材料或辅助材料的人员进行强制性SARS-CoV-2检测（例如，塑料袋）。当地市场，如武汉的市场，出售活动物和外来食品供消费，是一个令人担忧的问题。外来或野生动物的贸易、不卫生的市场条件以及不高温烹饪都应被禁止。维生素，矿物质和其他食物衍生的化合物，如欧米茄脂肪酸的消费是一种谨慎的方式来提高免疫系统的性能。此外，具有控释特性的纳米封装材料可能有助于保护食品和包装免受SARS-CoV-2污染。
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is easily transmitted from person to person, which has fueled the ongoing pandemic. Governments in different countries have taken drastic actions such as complete lockdown. However, little attention has been paid to food safety and its potential linkage with the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. SARS-CoV-2 spread from staff to food products or food surfaces is conceivable. At least, instead of consuming unpackaged or uncovered foods, consumption of boiled or canned foods processed at high temperatures should be preferred. Before consumption, consumers should clean the surface of canned foods. In addition to recommending or enforcing simple precautions, such as using masks, governments must conduct mandatory SARS-CoV-2 tests regularly and intermittently for personnel who handle food materials or supporting materials (e.g., plastic pouches). Local markets, such as those in Wuhan, which sell live animals and exotic foods for consumption, are a concern. Trade of exotic or wild animals, unhygienic marketplace conditions, and not cooking at high temperatures ought to be prohibited. The consumption of vitamins, minerals, and other food-derived compounds such as omega fatty acids is a prudent way to improve the performance of the immune system. In addition, nano-encapsulated materials with controlled release properties may be useful in protecting food products and packaging from SARS-CoV-2 contamination.
