Abstract

Global events like pandemics or climatic changes have an important influence on food systems. Taking into account consumer requirements during the pandemic, nutrition and food safety are very significant for individuals' well-being. Lockdowns, quarantine, and social distancing changed daily routines as well as nutritional behaviors from shopping for food to eating habits. Direct transmission of coronavirus through food was not observed. Food safety and food sustainability are strongly affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, the pandemic is still ongoing. For this reason, novel treatments of COVID-19 and immune-boosting food products will remain on-trend. Food loss and food waste should be avoided to achieve a sustainable food future. This chapter reveals a basis for the pandemic about the changes on nutritional behaviors, eating habits, and aimed to highlight the importance of food handling and food safety issues to create awareness. Future studies should investigate the sustainability, innovative technologies, mechanisms, and changes on nutritional behavior and food safety aspects during the pandemic.

新冠肺炎疫情对食品安全和营养行为的影响

流行病或气候变化等全球性事件对粮食系统有重要影响。考虑到大流行期间消费者的需求，营养和食品安全对个人福祉非常重要。封锁、隔离和保持社交距离改变了人们的日常生活以及从购买食物到饮食习惯的营养行为。没有观察到冠状病毒通过食物直接传播。由于COVID-19大流行，食品安全和食品可持续性受到严重影响。不幸的是，大流行仍在继续。因此，新型COVID-19治疗方法和增强免疫力的食品将继续成为趋势。应避免粮食损失和粮食浪费，以实现可持续的粮食未来。本章揭示了疫情对营养行为、饮食习惯变化的基础，旨在强调食品处理和食品安全问题的重要性，以提高认识。未来的研究应探讨疫情期间的可持续性、创新技术、机制以及营养行为和食品安全方面的变化。
