As the new coronavirus infection (Covid-19) spreads and has become epidemic, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), it has involved us with figures and statistics. How many new items? How many countries? Is the infection curve growing? What is the mortality rate? While the extent of the disease is still unclear, the economic impact of the virus outbreak is of great concern. The effect of the virus on the food supply chain is also significant. Will we be exposed to food shortages or price jumps? How can these effects be minimized? Can the avoidance of monopolies, price monitoring, and the protection of the vulnerable through social security networks limit the spread of the virus? What is the role of food safety in preventing the spread of the virus and its effects on food security? Can raising awareness about food safety and compliance with health regulations, including workers' rights, roles and responsibilities, ensuring that people do not transmit the virus along the food supply chain be effective in ending the disease and its profound effects on food security?
