A Word on Food Safety

According to the CDC and FDA, there is currently no evidence of food or food packaging being associated with the transmission of COVID-19. However, like other viruses, it is possible the virus can survive on surfaces or objects. To be extra safe, here are some steps you can take when ordering takeout:

  • Use a no-contact delivery service. Many delivery companies are now offering this, including Postmates. While Grubhub, Doordash, and Seamless don't have specific contactless options, customers can leave notes in the app to request a delivery be left outside. Remember tip generously.
  • If you are picking up food, practice social distancing. Stay six feet or more away from people whenever feasible.
  • Use your own dishes. When you bring food into your house, remove it from the box and place it on your own dishes and dispose of the containers. Add a note when ordering that you won't need napkins or plastic utensils.
  • Disinfect surfaces the containers have touched. Once you have thrown away the packaging and containers, disinfect any surfaces the container comes into contact with.
  • Lastly, (we've all heard it a million times!), wash your hands after handling all packaging and before eating.
