Could the coronavirus be on fruits, vegetables, produce, or other food products?

Yes- but: COVID 19 is spread primarily through respiratory droplets with minimal transmission from surface contamination. It is not foodborne. Recommend that you do wash your produce. You can purchase pre-made wash for fruits and vegetables.
