The COVID‐19 pandemic has ushered in a new era of food safety. To date, there is no evidence to suggest that consuming food is associated with COVID‐19. Nevertheless, COVID‐19's impact on food safety and security has been grave. The world is currently experiencing several supply chain issues as a direct result of extensive lockdowns and impacts on essential workers' safety. However, disruption in the food supply, while catastrophic in nature, has created opportunities for the advancement of medical science, data processing, security monitoring, foodborne pathogen detection, and food safety technology. This article will discuss the key components for food safety during the COVID‐19 pandemic. The discussion will draw from lessons learned early in the outbreak and will analyze the etiology of the disease through a food safety perspective. From there, we will discuss personal protective equipment, detection of SARS‐CoV‐2, useful surrogates to study SARS‐CoV‐2, and the expanding field of data science, from the food safety point of view. In the future, scientists can apply the knowledge to the containment of COVID‐19 and eventually to future pandemics.

从 COVID-19 大流行中吸取的食品安全教训

COVID-19 大流行开启了食品安全的新时代。迄今为止，没有证据表明食用食物与 COVID-19 相关。然而，COVID-19 对食品安全的影响是严重的。由于广泛的封锁和对基本工人安全的影响，世界目前正在经历几个供应链问题。然而，食品供应中断虽然本质上是灾难性的，但为医学科学、数据处理、安全监测、食源性病原体检测和食品安全技术的进步创造了机会。本文将讨论 COVID-19 大流行期间食品安全的关键组成部分。讨论将汲取疫情初期的经验教训，并从食品安全的角度分析疾病的病因。从那里，我们将从食品安全的角度讨论个人防护设备、SARS-CoV-2 的检测、研究 SARS-CoV-2 的有用替代物以及不断扩大的数据科学领域。将来，科学家可以将这些知识应用于遏制 COVID-19 并最终应用于未来的流行病。
