A member asked:
Can hepatitis b be transmitted by sharing food with an infected person?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Hi. Hepatitis A is the one that can be transmitted by food. Hepatitis B cannot be transmitted by food (it's transmitted by blood products and semen). So you're safe in the food-sharing regard.
