When will this end? Everything that comes into our place gets washed down straight away with hot soapy water. Took at least an hour to do our last big shop. Madness.

People simply dont wash their hands after grabbing a slice of bread and wanging it in the toaster before buttering it.
So you wash everything you buy with dettol?
I don't think it's possible to cleanse everything on every surface. In some ways you are presenting a false sense of security if one is doing that.
For instance, the risk of you touching your eyes or mouth whilst you are doing the shopping and touching all manner of surfaces is probably far higher than the risk from the packaging on a delivery and then touching your face.
And as I said, it's cited as very low risk by both the EU and UK. There are far more likely ways of catching C19.
As I said though, everyone should do what they feel comfortable with and if they want to cleanse everything then they should.

Not like you to generalise!
I do actually (well I don't use a toaster, but if I've touched packaging or any other uncleaned surface, I'll wash my hands before re-handling the foodstuff in question - or use different fingers or the other hand if they're clean). I've always followed strict hygiene tho, incl before Covid_19 appeared - I simply cannot afford to get any bugs (from what Jeera said your missus has medical condition/s too, so you're similarly careful).

Yes that is true although you can wash you hands after touching any of those things and that's far easier than scrubbing everything with dettol in my opinion and it's good practice in general. I do understand people might find it easier to scrub everything.
Both the EU and UK cite food packaging as very low risk for transmission.
Each person should obviously do as they see fit though.

Not to mention Dettol being extremely hard to find in stock anywhere!

veg should always be washed virus or no virus.
If packaged then not necessary,just wash your hands after handling.
do you eat raw veg then ? as most veg you just boil or roast to death to cook before eating anyway, assuming you havent peeled scraped them first, I cant see the virus surviving that.
like fruit, I eat fruit that comes with natural packaging you take off & bin, maybe rinse an apple, but oranges, bananas, nope.
post again take the packaging off, dispose of straight away, wash hands,

But you can get it on the bread, or the knife, or the surfaces, or your forearm, or your clothes etc.
Probably in minimal quantity. But people dont wash their hands before and after every single operation in a kitchen.
Well then they haven’t got good food hygiene.
So for any meal I make I take out all ingredients of their respective packaging, put them on work surface ready to make my meal and then wash my hands.
