It follows the recent Food Standards Agency statement that food packaging is not known to be an agent for transmission of Covid-19.
The FPS guidance is:
* Packaging should be stored in a secure and dry facility that can only be accessed by takeaway staff
* It must always be stored above the ground, it must never be in contact with the floor. This includes the box the packaging is placed in
* Takeaway employees should read the packaging’s storage instructions on the outer transit packaging and abide by them
* Packaging should be left in the inner, non-porous plastic sleeve until just prior to service
* Packaging should be handled with gloves that are changed regularly and/or handled with clean, washed, sanitised hands
* All packaging should be disposed of responsibly and never littered
