My nextdoor neighbor has been using gallons of Bleach to spray down all of her groceries on her front porch and then spraying off her entire front porch with bleach. Smells like a fuckin swimming pool. Anyway, yesterday she was complaining to me that the $40 hunk of beef that was delivered wasn't wrapped in plastic, just the butcher paper - I gather that the butcher used to put the carcass in plastic and then wrap in paper. So when she sprayed bleach all over the butcher block paper wrapper it bleached her meat. She was able to get a refund from the vendor complaining that the meat leaked onto the other items, and discarded the bleached hunk of meat. Pretty sure that was just after she saturated it all with copious amounts of disinfectant and soaked the paper wrapper.
I will admit to spraying my groceries with peroxide. Haven't bleached anything yet though..

We are probably going to see a spike in cancer from this pandemic as all kinds of nasty disinfectant gets poured on everything. No one is buying any of those natural cleaning products they are just sitting on the shelves next to the empty shelves where all the industrial waste products have been snapped up.

I don't bleach my actual edible items but i do disinfect all packages before they come into the house.
We use a 12% bleach solution in a spray bottle and dampen shop paper towels.
Been doing it for years

agreed. hopefully the peroxide and isopropyl alcohol I've been using is safer and just as effective as the bleach, Lysol and 409 that everyone else seems to be using.
weirdest shit I've seen is a woman out jogging wearing those blue shoe coverings. and one family leaving the grocery store and spraying down their shoes with Lysol before getting in the car. if you're not putting the shoes in your mouth it's highly unlikely that they're going to transmit the virus. I just leave the shoes in the garage.
my poor neighbor who bleached her meat is going insane. she was always anxious but this virus has pushed her over the edge. She washes everything in beach, including her hands, which are bright red and sore looking.

Not gonna do it.
I stay home unless we need human or animal food. I wear a mask when I must go out. I stay 6 feet from others, although when I do go to the store there are always some Trumpettes around, maskless of course, trying to come too close. I wash my hands when I get home.
That's it. If that's not enough,the Covfefe can come and get me!

sanitizer intended for direct use on fruits and veg approved against sarscov2 by epa
honestly i couldnt keep up with the whole cleaning my groceries thing for more than a couple trips to town. it feels like a very important thing to be doing - making sure everything that goes into your house is clean...but afaik evidence that cv can spread through grocery packaging, mail, food containers etc is pretty nonexistent. it came to feel like this little charade i was doing to make myself feel better when the risks were more unknown and this whole thing seemed like it was going to be more dangerous than its turned out to be - kind of like the coronavirus version of the TSA

This tale reminds me of
This tale reminds me of "Lutefisk" which is some Scandinavian technique of soaking Fish in lye. I haven't tasted it, but some folks think it's great. Lye is sodium and / or potassium hydroxide, mostly used for cleaning drains.
Lately I've been cooking the Meats & Fish, using Fire or other heat source. Seems to work pretty well.
I'm more concerned about contracting the Germs by licking the Bounty packages, or having carnal relations with the Melons.
So been avoiding those behaviors; "Safety First".

"...The history of lutefisk
"...The history of lutefisk dates back to the Vikings. On one occasion, according to one legend, plundering Vikings burned down a fishing village, including the wooden racks with drying cod. The returning villagers poured water on the racks to put out the fire. Ashes covered the dried fish, and then it rained. The fish buried in the ashes in the ashes thus became soaked in a lye slush. Later the villagers were surprised to see that the dried fish had changed to what looked like fresh fish. They rinsed the fish in water to remove the lye and make it edible, and then boiled it. The story is that one particularly brave villager tasted the fish and declared it “not bad.”

True, very low risk.
True, very low risk.
So people will have to decide what levels of risk they want to assume, and some will go overboard spraying their meat with bleach.
yes, I'm probably doing more than necessary too. If I had self check out options, I might not be as concerned. But the cashier handles everything and comes in contact with everyone, including cash. And there are too many unknowns about how long the virus will stay on surfaces.
I just rinse fruits and veggies with tap water and don't worry about it, however any plastic or cardboard packaging gets discarded in my garage. And yeah I'm spraying the bags that the cashier is touching with peroxide before I handle them.
Do I wash my clothes on hot cycle or use the dryer, as recommended - nope. Again, gotta do what works for you. I suppose even if that means bleaching your meat...

lolol can you believe these
beleive people that i need to sanitize my groceries, or beleive the company that it can be used on fruit and veg? i dont beleive i need to sanitize my groceries, but jet oxide is made by a company called marone bioscience, they make biological controls for plant pests and diseases - they make great products that ive been using on my cannabis gardens for years. the ingrediants of jet oxide are hydrogen peroxide, in much greater concentration than what you buy at the grocery store, and peracetic acid, both of which can be easily washed off, and is only an irritant if ingested, not a poision.
im not suggesting people use it, or saying that i use it, but if you are going to wipe your food down with bleach, lysol wipes or isopropyl, you might as well use a product that is intended and approved for direct use on foods.
