Information for industry

Food
  • To assist the food industry as it navigates changes to operations related to COVID-19, the FDA has teamed up with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to develop the Employee Health and Food Safety Checklist for Human and Animal Food Operations During the COVID-19 Pandemic. The checklist pulls from existing guidance provided by the FDA, CDC, and OSHA and serves as a quick reference to help the food industry assess employee health, social distancing, and food safety within workplaces as operations may be impacted by COVID-19. (August 19, 2020)
