Monitoring of SARS-CoV 2 on primary production and manually processed foods in Northern Italy

ConclusionsIn this preliminary work, food does not seem to be a substrate for Sars CoV2 contamination; other food categories or transformation/production processes could be investigated to confirm the obtained results. Also, different targets and amplification systems would have to be evaluated to verify the rule of foodstuffs as Sars CoV2 vehicles.Key messagesPrimary production and manual processed food don't seem to be at risk for SARS CoV2 contamination.Food has not been identified as a source of Sars CoV2 spreading.
