With COVID-19 dominating the news and daily conversations in our community, we want to let you know that we are taking the necessary actions to ensure the health and safety of you, our staff and our community. During this time, we are looking to the USDA, the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for guidance in keeping on top of safe food handling and our business decisions.

Protecting our team is extremely important. Steps are in place to protect and educate our staff to ensure the continuity of our business. To help protect our team members and the community, we’re following the advice of the CDC (below).

▪ Requiring sick team members to stay home.

▪ Promoting frequent hand washing, as has always been our policy.

▪ Routinely cleaning frequently touched surfaces in the workplace, as has always been our policy.

▪ Masks are worn by all team members.

▪ We are encouraging customers to wear masks when entering the store.

The CDC says, “Currently, there is no evidence to support transmission of COVID-19 associated with food.”

The USDA reports, “We are not aware of any reports at this time of human illnesses that suggest COVID-19 can be transmitted by food or food packaging.”

The FDA, “Currently there is no evidence of food or food packaging being associated with transmission of COVID-19.”

Food safety is critical to The Freshly Forked. As we get through this crisis together, we stand ready to serve you for all your prepared food needs in the safest manner possible.

On behalf of everyone at The Freshly Forked, we pray that you and your family will stay safe and healthy.
