Perfect Picnic
Sunny days create the perfect conditions for bacteria to grow,
but there are some quick and easy ways to Beat the Bugs:
- Keep hot food hot and cold food cold until you are ready to eat
them. It is important to remember to keep foods that contain cream,
meat, poultry and food containing raw eggs chilled.
- Try to keep the food out of the fridge for the shortest time
possible
- Use a cool box or bag to keep food chilled until you are ready
to eat it
- Always try to wash your hands before eating, or use antiseptic
hand wipes
- Keep food covered whenever possible to protect it from insects,
birds and pests that can carry bacteria
- Wash fruit and vegetables thoroughly
