Grab your family and go on a picnic today! Plan ahead to keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold while you are out! Harmful bacteria grows at temperatures between 40°-140°F, especially at temperatures above 90°F.
- Chill foods in the refrigerator before packing them in the cooler.
- Keep plenty of ice in the cooler so foods stay cool.
- Put the cooler in the passenger area of the car. It’s much cooler tha
n the trunk. - Put food back in the cooler as soon as you finish eating.
- Unpack the cooler as soon as you get home.
