Is it Safe to Order Food Delivery & Takeout?

Is it Safe to Order Food Delivery & Takeout?

During this breakout of the novel coronavirus, in-house dining is discouraged. But many restaurants are offering delivery and takeout service. Is it safe?

I asked a food safety expert – Dr. Benjamin Chapman – along with a bunch of other related questions. This is the first excerpt from my interview with Dr. Chapman on March 20, 2020.

Dr. Benjamin Chapman is a professor of food safety and a food safety extension specialist at North Carolina State University, in Raleigh. He co-hosts a bi-weekly podcast called “Food Safety Talk” and another called “Risky or Not?” Follow him on Twitter at www.twitter.com/benjaminchapman.

This video was produced by science comedian Brian Malow in partnership with Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Honor Society.
