While social distancing and staying indoors is one of the best ways to protect yourself and your family from the deadly coronavirus, there is not much clarity about how safe and healthy it is to buy groceries,fruits and vegetables. Few questions that are still troubling many people are:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How safe is buying groceries from stores?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is online grocery shopping safer than personal grocery shopping?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is buying veggies and fruits from local vendors safe?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is cleaning them in water sufficient to get rid of microbes?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shall I clean them in soap water or disinfectant?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So on and so forth..<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a sneak peak of what is the right way to buy and clean fruits, vegetables and grocery items and tips to be followed by food handlers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Also read: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/coronavirus-a-checklist-of-lockdown-essentials\/\"><b>A Checklist Of Coronavirus Lockdown Essentials<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>How Safe Is The Food YOU Buy?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), coronaviruses spread from one person to another through respiratory droplets. There is no evidence as yet that these viruses can be transmitted through food. However, to be on a safer side, it is advised to wash your hands with soap and water before and after handling food produce and eating\/preparing food.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although it is possible to get COVID-19 by touching a surface\/object that has the virus on it and then touching your face\/mouth\/nose\/eyes, the risk is slightly less as it is not the main mode of transmission. Moreover, due to poor chances of survival of coronaviruses on surfaces, packaged food products that are refrigerated or kept in chillers (frozen temperatures) or those shipped at ambient temperature for days\/weeks have low risk of transmission.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Food Handling: Do\u2019s and Don\u2019ts To Follow<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; When buying fruits\/vegetables from a local market, make sure you <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">follow social distancing or maintain a distance of approximately 3 feet from others. Here\u2019s more on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/covid-19-what-is-social-distancing-and-how-it-helps\/\"><b>how social distancing can help prevent the spread of COVID-19.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Do not forget to carry a sanitiser while going for grocery shopping. Use it before and after handling raw food including fruits and vegetables. Also, wash milk packets before use and storing them. Refrain from opening the milk packets with your teeth. Using a sanitiser after handling money as cash handling may act as a significant source of spread of infection although there are no clear cut guidelines on this by the WHO. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/can-cash-handling-put-you-at-risk-of-coronavirus-covid-19\/\"><b>Can Cash Handling Put YOU At Risk Of Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Read This!<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-After getting fruits\/vegetables from the local market, wash and scrub veggies under running water.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not wash fruits and vegetables with soap and water. This is because it can up the risk of toxic chemicals getting deposited onto the surfaces of fruits and vegetables which if consumed can lead to stomach upset. Instead, wash them with plenty of water and pat them dry with a plain, clean cloth before you store them appropriately or cook them. Use a clean vegetable brush for cleaning veggies like cucumber. Discard outer leaves of cabbage and stems of cauliflower before storing in the refrigerator.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Do segregate raw\/cooked and vegetarian\/non-vegetarian foods properly to avoid cross-contamination. Also, all the equipment such as\u00a0 chopping boards, knives, cutlery, containers, cooking utensils, spoons, etc should be sanitized before use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-If you are handling raw meat, then make sure you separate it from other foods and refrigerate it at the right temperature. Also, it is important to properly cook meat and meat products (at right temperature) to kill the germs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; If you have ordered groceries online, then ask the delivery person to leave the package at your door (it\u2019s for their safety too!) and if possible, opt for contactless mode of payment (no cash\/card). Also, unwrap and immediately discard the outermost packaging and wash your hands after receiving and opening the package.
