I have been operating on the assumption anything that comes into contact with the outside world could have the virus on it when it comes into my house. For that reason, I have done the following:
I shop with my own plastic coated bags. I put everything in 1-2 while I shop, then when self-checkout is available, transfer immediately into 1-2 more on the other side. Nothing touches the checkout. And I wear gloves the entire time. For produce, I bag what is necessary in plastic.
I load grocery bags into the floor of the car. Take off the gloves inside out and stash in a small plastic bag in the car (to dispose of when I get home).
Once home, new set of gloves, bags out of the car. In the entryway, place a towel on the entryway table, use Lysol wipes to sanitize every item I plan to use in the next week. Place those items on the towel to dry. Anything that I won't be using in the next week stays in one bag in the trunk of the car. (The virus degrades on plastic and paper within a week.) Still wearing the gloves, Lysol wipe the plastic coated bags all over - sides, handles, insides, inside bottom and outside bottom. leave those in the entryway to dry.
Once everything's dried, stash the groceries and fold the bags to be stored in our standard pile of grocery bags.
For produce, specifically, when I bring them into the house I empty them into a very large fruit bowl and toss the produce bags. Then I use wash on all the produce and let it soak for a few minutes in water and produce wash. Then let it dry, etc.
(FWIW, I have not been eating fresh produce just in case, but I think those procedures should do the trick in the event you do.)
Oh, and I always restock on the tin foil for my tin foil hats. ;)
Hope this helps. I am sure I am on the extreme end, but then again, my extreme end two weeks ago is now the legally mandated minimum for all of the Bay Area, so YMMV...
