How are you all dealing with foods in a crisis like Coronavirus?

Mostly the same. I wipe down most things before I put them away.
@SweetMae sometimes I forget to wipe it off before putting it in my mouth

@questionWeaver hahaha! I rode one of my neighbors the other day ... just to help her out . It’s been a long time since I rode a fast horse at a full gallop on a track . My hat flew off and the wind was whistling by ! Fun !
@TexChik awesome!

@questionWeaver it was . When you are used to saddle horses that loose along at best , a quarter horse is a serious upgrade . it’s amazing to feel the sheer power those animals have as they run

Like I always have. Maybe being a little more diligent at washing the fresh vegetables.

I use the surface life guidelines we received from the CDC. I wear vinyl disposable gloves when handling my groceries.

The virus CAN live on plastic for three days, so I spray plastic and styrofoam containers with a mild bleach solution...5 tablespoons bleach to 1 gallon of distilled water. You are supposed to let that sit for 3 minutes before touching. Then I just put the packages in my fridge.

Canned goods...if the virus is on metal, it can live for up to 9 days. I try to touch only the paper on cans when I remove them from my cabinets.

I haven't really had to deal with loose, fresh fruits and veggies, because I buy organic, and organic is usually in plastic.

I don't eat raw veggies at all, because they can't be cooked, and I am heating all foods to boiling point before eating.
only eat what I cook and limiting fresh fruit and vegetables that I buy. never know who put their hands on it before I picked it up
