The CDC says there is no evidence to suggest that consuming or handling food is associated with the coronavirus.
Frozen chicken wings imported to China from Brazil have tested positive for the coronavirus, local authorities said on Thursday. A sample was taken from the surface of the wings and tested positive, making them one of the latest food imports to test positive for the virus, according to Reuters.
On Wednesday, traces of coronavirus were found on a package of frozen shrimp in Anhui province. The shrimp was also from Ecuador. Coronaviruses are thought to spread mostly person-to-person through respiratory droplets, the CDC says. However,"it is possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object, including food or food packaging, that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes," the CDC says.
The CDC recommends washing your hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling food, or before cooking and eating food.
