| Safe Picnic Tips |
|
|
 |
|
Have a wonderful picnic -- but be safe
Keeping foods at adequate room temperatures during outdoor meals can help ensure celebrations are safe and delicious. As a general rule, keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold. Here are more things you can do to prevent food-borne illness: |
|
• Take a cooler with ice in it to the grocery store when purchasing perishables on a hot day.
• Do complex food preparation in advance. For example, make your potato salad ahead of time and be sure it’s thoroughly chilled. Rinse, wash and prep fruits and vegetables at home.
• Do not serve cooked meats on the same platter that held raw meats. Keep utensils and cutting boards used to prep raw meats away from cooked food.
• Keep dishes covered with lids or foil.
• Keep hand sanitizer or wipes “on hand” to keep hands clean.
• Put away foods after an hour at room temperature if you cannot keep them adequately cold or hot. |
