The health and safety of our customers and employees are our top priority at The Gourmet Online.

Our internal teams are closely monitoring the developments of the Coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak and would like to update you on our response to this situation.

We are actively following all guidelines and directives, and adhering to all recommendations as information becomes available from the CDC and regulatory organizations. We are taking additional preventive measures such as site entry restrictions, increased sanitation guidelines, and continual reassessment of our processes.

We are communicating with our suppliers regularly in order to maintain the most current updates and have implemented additional supplier verification procedures to reassure the safety and integrity of our products.

Note, the FDA's statement released on February 27, 2020 relating to food and food packaging:
We are not aware of any reports at this time of human illnesses that suggest COVID-19 can be transmitted by food or food packaging. However, it is always important to follow good hygiene practices (i.e., wash hands and surfaces often, separate raw meat from other foods, cook to the right temperature, and refrigerate foods promptly) when handling or preparing foods.

We are currently operating business as usual and will do everything possible for our customers to do so as well. In anticipation of supply chain disruptions on imported items, we will take necessary steps to communicate and provide appropriate substitutions wherever possible.

We are committed to transparency with our community and will provide updates as they come.

Please contact us with any questions or concerns.

Thank you for your continued support; we truly value your trust during these times.

Sincerely,

Mary Ann
President, The Gourmet Online
