Honestly sanitize all of your groceries before putting them away?

I don't. I have a friend in the research/medical field. She recently posted about this and shared research from a colleague in the food safety world. While you absolutely should be washing your fruits and vegetables (as you would/should before COVID), wiping down cardboard boxes is not productive to slowing/stopping the virus.

I do, and have been since beginning of March. We always washed all produce anyway, and now we also wipe down anything going in the fridge. The packaged items I just leave on the back porch 24 hours before I put them away. Not a big deal and gives us peace of mind.

Loose things like produce I've always washed. I've never wiped packaged things down during cold and flu season so I haven't done that now. I'd rather not have Lysol seep into what I'm going to ingest. No thanx! LOL

I'm a germophobe already so I'm always washing my hands as soon as I walk in, alcohol my cell phone off immediately, etc. That I've continued to do. I've never keep packaging or boxes around. They get unpacked and put in recycling right away.

I do. And while I always washed my produce I usually disinfected it right before use, since I’ve been doing it before putting it away, it has started to last much longer, so that’s a custom I will continue even after this threat is over.

I sanitize whatever needs to go in the fridge. I’m in the habit of it now, and it honestly doesn’t take me long. The non-perishables just get left in the garage for a day or two. And we’ve always washed produce.
