SARS-CoV-2 virus spreads by inter-human infection and there is currently no evidence of foodborne transmission or transmission from food business operators or from food packaging. Within the European legislation framework, food safety is ensured through a combined approach of prevention and control throughout the food chain, “for field to fork”. During the COVID-19 epidemic, however, the safeguard of food hygiene requires additional measures to reduce as much as possible the risk associated to the presence of potentially infected individuals in areas intended for food production or marketing. This report provides instructions and recommendations to ensure food and food packaging hygiene in the stages of food production, commercialization and consumption.

Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 virus spreads by inter-human infection and there is currently no evidence of foodborne transmission or transmission from food business operators or from food packaging. Within the European legislation framework, food safety is ensured through a combined approach of prevention and control throughout the food chain, “for field to fork”. During the COVID-19 epidemic, however, the safeguard of food hygiene requires additional measures to reduce as much as possible the risk associated to the presence of potentially infected individuals in areas intended for food production or marketing. This report provides instructions and recommendations to ensure food and food packaging hygiene in the stages of food production, commercialization and consumption.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
