Can hepatitis B be transmitted through food?

Patient's question:

Here's the translation of your text into English, with the line breaks kept as they are:
"Ask a question about hepatitis B. If the vegetables or fruits we eat grow in an environment that has been long contaminated with hepatitis B virus sources, will these vegetables or fruits contain the virus? (I know the virus cannot be domesticated in plants, but the hepatitis B virus has relatively strong resistance. If plants absorb water from the soil that contains the virus and the virus enters the cells of fruits and vegetables, and at this time, if the hepatitis B virus in the fruits and vegetables has not yet been dying, will the fruit acquire a source of hepatitis B virus infection? For example, if a person eats it, and the person's intestines happen to have damage, will they get infected?)"

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the situation you mentioned will absolutely not have hepatitis B virus, so there is no need to worry. It is recommended that the transmission routes of hepatitis B are blood, sexual contact, and mother-to-child horizontal transmission. Daily lifestyle will never transmit the hepatitis B virus. The daily treatment for hepatitis B patients is mainly symptomatic treatment. Patients can use many oral medications, combined with various vitamins, and pay attention to regular routines, avoiding smoking and alcohol. We hope that hepatitis B patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
