WASHINGTON — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said there is no evidence of food or food packaging being associated with the transmission of COVID-19. Recent closings of processing Smithfield and Tyson plants have been because of infections among workers – not swine. The virus is not thought to be transmissable species to species, even though disease’s origin in China in 2019 were at “wet markets,” where infected bats, a delicacy, were suspected.
