Corona Virus: Is it safe to use Whey Protein imported from UK/Spain

[eshbanbahadur]

As Corvid-19 is very active in USA and Europe, I need to ask is it safe to use supplements Like I ordered MyProtein Whey Protein via myprotein (.pk) website and the package arrives from UK->SPain. So is there any need to take security measure or I can use it without any doubt or fear?

Looking forward for your precious comments.

Yes

The virus can't live outside a host for more than 72 hours. It also probably can't survive industrial food processing.

As in the whey would be a carrier of COVID? No.

Although I could have sworn I read that COVID can remain active on plastics for up to 2 weeks? I may need to look this up again.

It's not well known. I heard a researcher say they observed 72 hours on hard surfaces (much less on porous surfaces) - although I guess that doesn't mean that's the upper limit.

Maybe just sanitize the outside of the jug.

All packages that I receive are first handled with gloves and sit untouched in my garage for a week before I bring them inside to use. From what I've read, that's considered long enough for the virus to die. I do this to save my sanitizer for other uses.
