Key points:

  • COVID-19 is unlikely to be passed on through fresh produce
  • Wash your hands with soap or use a sanitizer after handling your groceries and fresh produce
  • Do not wash fresh produce in soap or detergent
  • Soap is not designed for use on food and any residues on fresh produce can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea if ingested
  • The FDA in the US says to wash fresh fruits and vegetables in cold water
