The following tips can help keep your picnics and meals away from home as safe as possible.
1. Pack raw poultry in a sealed container or bag in a cooler with ice or cold packs so that the temperature stays below 40¡F. Keep the poultry at the bottom of the cooler so that its juices do not leak onto other foods.
2. Keep uncooked poultry and meats in a cooler until ready to cook.
3. At very warm temperatures, cooked foods should be kept out for no longer than 1 hour. Keeping cooked leftovers out may be risky because the food may have been exposed to flies, dirty hands, and extended warm temperatures.
4. When bringing a bag lunch, wrap food well and keep them either cold with a freezer pack or frozen juice carton, or hot in an insulated container.
5. Keep cooler and lunch bags in the shade.
