It is the perfect time of year to go on a picnic. There are many recipes of meals and snacks to bring; it can be hard to choose. However, food safety is most important when picnicking.
Cold foods should stay cold; warm foods warm. Otherwise, bacteria will flourish.
Use coolers to store the
perishable foods like meat, poultry, fish, eggs and salads. You want to keep the
food at or below 40 degrees F, using ice or frozen gel packs. Hot food should stay above 135 degrees F.
A balanced diet is still important when not eating at home. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and watch your portions. Most importantly, have fun with friends and family.
