I just purchased groceries at Safeway. Now you are saying I may have just infected my family with contaminated product ?
Unlikely that your product would be contaminated.
Most products are in cardboard cases, and the cases are then opened up by night crew, and then stocked to the shelf. Perishable items are similar, but are broken down by individual departments.
Each store should be taking necessary precautions, since the virus can last on cardboard. But the ones who are at risk are the ones opening the boxes.

cdc has already said COVID is not passed via food.
My husband delivers to your distribution center. What department was the infected person working in. I need to know if he is in danger and my family as well.
