Play it safe. Don't eat anything!
Especially if you see the chef or cook with a cigarette dangling from his or her lips.
I dropped by Trader Joe's Friday. Watched people fondle the loose and unpackaged fruit and produce. One woman squeezed at least a half dozen potatoes. I'm not aware of any reason to squeeze a potato. I do understand that the weight tells you if they are not dried out, but a squeeze? Like tapping a melon, useless. You smell the stem end of a melon for the perfume. If it smells sweet, it is ready to eat. I was thinking of standing in front of her, wiping my underarms with my hands and then grabbing her arms, instead grabbed my crotch and smiled at her. Told her out loud, crabs, and smiled with one eyebrow raised and a snarl. Two of the TJ employees who have had their own experiences with my sick sense of humor, were struggling not to laugh. She kept squeezing potatoes, then moved on to large onions. I didn't buy any of the potatoes or onions she touched. Instead I picked up a couple of large bags of both. TJ's has adopted a two count limit of any single item to thwart hoarders.
that's it. buy it up before the hoarders can get to it !
that TJ encounter would make a great movie vignette; much like a peter sellers scene from the old days
Remember the MSM incessantly declaring no one should horde because there is no risk whatsoever there will be any shortages? I lost count on how many deliberate and willful propaganda lies the MSM has told in complete agreement with each other - and all exactly at the same - since all are given the same propaganda scripts to read.
Not squeezing potatoes before buying = Un-American
Trader Joe's = Has lifted the 2 item limit
Trump Zombie Rabies Death Plague = Still going to kill us all
Humanity = R.I.P.
I've read there are no known cases of food transmission yet. So ordering food to go is not very dangerous.
But I find myself not comfortable ordering some things - things that involve more of the preparer spending time over your food, like preparing a pizza, or a sandwich at Subway, or standing over a wok frying a meal, shaking the wok for an extended period.
I'm more ok with food with less handling, like KFC quickly throwing together a package.
Any comments on the foods that are more or less safe?
You need to be more concerned with the packaging and sanitise that first. Then wash your hands with soap thoroughly before touching the food. The virus will be killed by the sort of temperatures involved in cooking. Anything over 63C will kill the virus.

As long as there are people out there watching the news, thinking it’s a TV show that doesn’t apply to them, and still “dropping by” grocery stores, box stores, and hanging out in convenience stores, the virus will have a rich environment to spread in.

I think what you're asking is are there any foods that are handled without gloves or protection?
Not even that. If someone is standing over your sandwich making it wearing gloves, it's still entirely possible for the virus to leave their nose or mouth to the food.

It seems to me that the people who cook the food should be wearing gloves and a mask.
I'm in a major suburban area, and the grocery delivery items are limited. Markets are tempting, but seem dangerous; that makes takeout an attractive option.
I haven't been seeing masks.
