I see that the HSE state:

After shopping
Wash your hands immediately when you get home.
Sort out your shopping on a cleared, disinfected area.
Wipe shelving with sanitiser and a paper towel, then throw the towel away.
Wipe the outside of all canned or hard surface packed goods (tetra packs). Use a paper towel and warm soapy water or sanitiser. This is because coronavirus can survive on hard surfaces for up to 72 hours.
If you'd rather not clean the food packaging, you could leave non-perishable foods in a safe place for 72 hours instead.
Remove outer food packaging and throw it away.
Try not to touch the inner packaging of items such as yoghurts.
Wipe down your fridge and cupboard handles using sanitiser on a paper towel.
Wash your hands after you have unpacked and put your shopping bags away.



But other health articles say, "you're not going to eat the can or the wrapping", just wash your hands and don't touch your face before doing so.

I still haven't heard of many supermarket workers falling ill, so I am hopeful this is minimal risk (insofar as nothing is devoid of risk).

The world health organization is of the opinion on the matter is that spread in supermarkets is inconclusive at the present time and more investigation is needed.
