COVID-19, also known as "new coronavirus disease 2019",
is a respiratory disease formally called "SARS-CoV-2". As of
August 5, 2020, it caused pandemics with 18.4 million confirmed
cases and 692.000 deaths worldwide. COVID-19 has
had negative effects on economic and human activities due
to panic and quarantine results with increasing number of
cases worldwide. One of the most important topics in which
these effects are felt is food safety. Although it is known that
the transmission is carried out by taking viruses in the aerosols
emitted into the air during the coughing or sneezing of
infected individuals, it is not overlooked that the virus can
be transported on packaged and/or unpackaged food. Hence,
the competent authorities do not ignore that the virus can
spread by packaged and/or unpackaged food between population
and prepare reports that have some suggestions and
recommendations for ensuring food safety. In this regard,
this review discusses of presence in foods and contamination
/decontamination of the COVID-19 by the up to date knowledge.
