Coronavirus CANNOT be transmitted through food, including ice.

This from Cornell Uni should be helpful for you to determine negligible risk

Maybe you are not talking about Covid on the ice but other general ice safety in regards to pathogens etc?

From the FDA Website:

 

 

Do I need to recall food products produced in the facility during the time that the worker was potentially shedding virus while working? (Posted March 17, 2020)

We do not anticipate that food products would need to be recalled or be withdrawn from the market because of COVID-19, as there is currently no evidence to support the transmission of COVID-19 associated with food or food packaging.

Additionally, facilities are required to control any risks that might be associated with workers who are ill regardless of the type of virus or bacteria. For example, facilities are required to maintain clean and sanitized facilities and food contact surfaces.

Hi Carine,

 

Is yr query still active ??

I think the answer to specific Covid-19 is already well made as "nothing to do".
