Covid And Frozen Food

[Barmaid]

I spent Saturday and Sunday cooking cold desserts for an event next month and stuck the food in the freezer. On Saturday night, we went to a party which is undoubtedly where we both contracted covid. Despite being triple jabbed, we both feel terrible.

What do I do with the food? Will it still be safe to serve? My freezer temp is -18. I do not want to infect anyone.

Any ideas?

So far there is no evidence of transmission, though freezing does not kill covid.

I've read reports that Covid can remain 'live' on frozen food for three weeks. Given the timescale between you attending the party and cooking the food I would believe the food to be safe. As it is going to remain frozen for several weeks I wouldn't worry about it.

pasta is correct.

There is currently no evidence that people can catch COVID-19 from food.

if it were an impt source of covid new cases,
they wouldnt have had lock-down, would they?

altho it began in Wu Han fresh ( and cold) food and they thought it was spread by contaminated surfaces. It wasnt. The covid crayzies criticised Fauci for not - coming clean, sooner ( coughing up the troof) - and (unfortunately) had a point

We did something similar. Have now eaten the food and thought some I am sure would wish I wasnt here. I am :-).

But if you feel uncomfortable about it then throw it out.
