They are finding the virus preserved in ice cream now. It loves the cold and feeds off the animal fats apparently..

OP do you have a source (or preferably sources) for this info? Viruses need a host organism to survive and reproduce long term.

Bacteria and yeasts feed

RNA is genetic code it cannot feed it does not feed

You could find the virus in a range of foods, if the people in contact with it before you are infected with it and some of it sheds onto the food. Fruit, etc.

Is it something that could not be and wasn't predicted? No. Is it likely to be a substantial problem? No, not if appropriate health and safety precautions are followed by suppliers and individuals take care, including masks, hand washing etc.

Relax.

If I remember correctly,back in the spring they were saying it could survive being frozen and become active again once thawed out. I dont know if that is still the thought...but if it is,in theory this could be true and would be all frozen food if it was contaminated.

Correct. RNA needs lower temps than the - 20ish of your common freezer. Hence the Pfizer RNA vaccine needing - 70 degrees.

This makes sense because the ice cream man travels around passing the virus on which explains how it travels around so easily...on a side note ice cream van still driving around my local town playing music because he is an essential worker and everyone wants a 99 in January but now we all know his evil plan is to spread his frozen virus 99 with a flake.

It's inaccurate to talk about a virus surviving or feeding. A virus is a package containing genetic material and not a free living organism. It's only in a suitable host cell that the virus becomes active and starts making copies of itself.

It's not a significant issue though, any more than I covered it earlier, Tom. We're better putting our attention on things that are important and to keep everyones' wellbeing as our priority, in these difficult times. There's enough causing anxiety and stress for people as it is.

Yes it can survive freezing. We just don't know how much, but we have some info on tests on Sars-Cov-2

"the researchers inoculated 500 tiny individual cubes of salmon, chicken and pork from supermarkets in Singapore with a hefty dose of SARS-CoV-2 viral particles. The meat was then stored at 3 different temperatures: 40C, (refrigeration) -200C, and -800C. After the meat was thawed at various time points (1, 2, 5, 7, 14 and 21 days after inoculation), the researchers determined that the amount of infectious virus—virus capable of reproducing—remained the same whether the temperature was 40C, -200C or -800C. The amount of infectious virus remained the same at 3 weeks in both refrigerated (40C) and frozen samples (-200C and -800C"

If you're cooking your meat, then heat kills the virus.

Ice cream and other cold foodstuffs ? No idea. More research is needed in this field.

" So is ice cream dangerous...?"

Any food, be it hot or cold that is not treated with the proper hygiene and storage controls has the potential to be dangerous.

That said, certain foods stored at cold temperatures don't appear to hinder this virus, nor several others from other virus families, is my take on the science.

Personally, I think provided the food preparation area where the ice cream is made is clean and hygienic (and considering things like listeria, they have to be), I'm not worried about ice cream.

To be honest, I'd be more concerned with listeria in ice cream. From an old article.

"The FDA’s inspection results reinforced that Listeria monocytogenes—the bacterium that caused a deadly outbreak linked to Blue Bell ice cream in 2015—continues to be a common hazard in facilities making similar products. Inspectors visited 89 ice cream production facilities in 2016 and 2017, taking samples from each establishment’s production environment to test for disease-causing bacteria. They detected Listeria monocytogenes in samples from 19 facilities."

It'll be ok, I assume you cook it before you eat it. Not ice cream obviously, may be you should avoid that especially if it's made in China.

No. If you eat the SARS-CoV-2 virus, it will do absolutely nothing because it doesn't infect via the gastrointestinal tract. You'll just digest it. Don't sniff ice cream and you'll be reet.

Re: other frozen foods, correct storage and cooking procedures mean they're no higher risk than fresh or canned food. Any food can be contaminated with pathogens.

It better be, I just got a new tub this afternoon. I've quarantined it for 72 hours though because there's been an outbreak at a local Sainsbury's distribution centre. (That's true btw)

Between Trumpton and Camberwick Green

Since most chinese people are lactose intolerant, they're not really big on icecream.

They'd most likely have to sneak it into lollies.

"OP do you have a source (or preferably sources) for this info? Viruses need a host organism to survive and reproduce long term.

Indeed

Feeds

hmm

Bacteria and yeasts feed

RNA is genetic code it cannot feed it does not feed

Exactly.

"Don't shoot the messenger...I don't make this nonsense up.. it's all over the news"

It's not ALL OVER the news. It's one grabbing headline from an undisputed veritable newspaper that has the strictest code of practice to ensure never to mislead the public.

Most news papers tend to see if there's an ounce of credibility and then they'll push their agenda.

News papers are rarely credible sources to base facts upon imo.
