It is theoretically possible to transmit the disease through food or food containers, but very unlikely. I read the following analysis from an op-ed in the Washington Post written by Joseph Allen, a professor at Harvard University’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health:
In the epidemiological world, we have a helpful way to think about it: the “Sufficient-Component Cause model.” Think of this model as pieces of a pie. For disease to happen, all of the pieces of the pie have to be there: sick driver, sneezing/coughing, viral particles transferred to the package, a very short time lapse before delivery, you touching the exact same spot on the package as the sneeze, you then touching your face or mouth before hand-washing.
