Dear Valued Customers,
We hope you are staying healthy and washing your hands. We wanted to address any concerns about the Coronavirus. We are a very small team and so far we have been blessed to be experiencing zero symptoms of any sickness especially those pertaining to the Coronavirus. We always take food safety and sanitation very seriously as the risk for foodborne illness is always present if proper sanitation techniques are not followed. We will continue to follow HACCP principles and application guidelines set forth by the USDA. Additionally, all of our kitchen staff is ServSafe certified. Our team will continue the thorough use of gloves and continue to maintain cleanliness as it has and will continue to be our priority.
Our product on hand is sourced by independent farms that have assured us that their practices regarding the COVID-19 virus are being exercised.
The FDA has put out this information about food and COVID-19: "Is the U.S. food supply safe?
Currently there is no evidence of food or food packaging being associated with transmission of COVID-19.
Unlike foodborne gastrointestinal (GI) viruses like norovirus and hepatitis A that often make people ill through contaminated food, SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, is a virus that causes respiratory illness. Foodborne exposure to this virus is not known to be a route of transmission.
The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person. This includes between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet), and through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads. However, it’s always critical to follow the 4 key steps of food safety—clean, separate, cook, and chill – to prevent foodborne illness"
We thank you for your continued patronage and we will keep you updated if anything changes. Happy Quarantining!
