There is misinformation circulating in both our media and social media concerning food safety issues about COVID-19. The University of Florida/ IFAS Extension has been on the front line with creating researched based publications to address our concerns with both the individual and commercial sector. Below are UF/IFAS Extension fact sheets that will answer your food safety/sanitation concerns. I encourage the public to forward appropriate fact sheets if it relates to your employer.
