So.
How long does it live on the meat in the packages...
We were going to do a brief grocery pickup to replace the dairy/meat we’ve used but now wondering about that...
I can do without dairy.
I NEED to find out if our state teaching hospital, where most of the patients with this are, is using that protocol yet.
I assume cooking to correct temps would kill any virus on the meat. But handle with gloves when raw maybe
Considering most meat is cooked before consuming, I would guess the usual precautions would work.
BTW, one of the first things I do when I bring meat home is wash the outside of the package with soapy water and let it sit for a minute or so and rinse it VERY well.
The last meat we cooked was for the chicken chili. It had been roasted at Costco, then shredded and pressure cooked in the Instapot for 40 minutes. I'm not concerned about that batch from a food safety perspective. The red beans caused significant digestive upset.
I've seen more than one meat packing plant shutdown notice this week to to CV. The meat supply is going to be impacted.
