U.S. FDA: Food and its packaging do not transmit the Chinese Communist virus

After the outbreak of the Chinese Communist pneumonia outbreak, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) made a big hype about the detection of the CCP virus in imported Food or packaging, and was accused of intentionally dumping the blame. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed Thursday (18) that the CCP virus does not spread through food or food packaging.
In a joint press release with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the FDA said there is no credible evidence linking food or food packaging to the transmission of the CCP virus, or its possible source.

COVID-19 is a human-to-human transmitted respiratory disease, unlike foodborne or gastrointestinal viruses, such as norovirus and hepatitis A, which often make people sick through contaminated food, the FDA said.

Early studies showed that CCP viruses could survive for hours or even days on plastic and paper surfaces. However, subsequent studies have found that transmission of CCP viruses through the surface of objects is unlikely.

Although some scientific studies have found CCP virus particles on food packaging, most studies have looked for the genetic sequence of the virus, not the live virus that causes human infection.

The FDA also stressed that more than 110 million people worldwide have tested positive for the CCP virus, but “we have not found epidemiological evidence of food or food packaging as a source.”

health experts have come to similar conclusions, officials said. A newly released review by the International Commission on Microbiological Specifications for Foods (ICMSF) said that despite handling billions of food products and food packaging since the start of the Communist virus pandemic To date, there is no evidence that food, food packaging or food processing is a source or significant route of transmission of SARS-CoV (CCP virus).

Although there are several routes of transmission and infection with the CCP virus, global health experts agree that take-out ordered by people at night is unlikely to be one of them.
