The U.S. Food and Drug Administration released new guidance in response to inquiries about whether food transport vehicles and refrigerated storage units that had been used for the temporary preservation of human remains amid the pandemic “subsequently can be used to transport and store human and animal food.” In the guidance, the FDA noted the importance of protecting food during transport and storage to ensure items are “safe for humans and animals and that conditions do not exist that may adulterate the food.” The FDA stated that floors, walls, ceilings and other hard, non-porous surfaces on the interiors of refrigerated transport vehicles can be easily cleaned.
