DID YOUR MOM EVER SAY “DON’T EAT THAT!?” IT’S NOT SAFE OR HEALTHY!
It’s not safe or healthy!
Outdoor eating is always fun, you want to enjoy the wonderful weather, you are tired of being inside, but remember a few things to keep you healthy and safe.
The warmer temperatures bring an increased risk for food borne bacteria that you need to be aware of. That’s why it’s important to keep food at the proper temperature, whether hot or cold, and to use safe food handling techniques.
I think it is great to sit on the porch or even go camping. What is the primary thing that you tend to do when you are out and about? EAT, right.
Without that chef, or even your kitchen, you tend to forget what it takes to stay healthy and safe from harmful bacteria. Yes, I know that potato salad was great and you want one more helping, but keep in mind a few things first and you will not have that trip to the doctor.
Here are some tips to keep in mind the next time you go dining outside, this might help you stay outside.
Store drinks in a separate cooler from food. Very important, you can also wash off the cans first. Drink coolers are frequently opened, causing the temperature to rise, which can be unsafe for food.
Tightly wrap uncooked meats so juices don’t contaminate other food in the cooler, (That is what plastic bags are for). Better yet, store uncooked meats in a separate cooler.
Before handling food, remember to wash your hands. If running water isn’t available, use bottled water and soap or hand sanitizer. Do you really know where your hands have been, and what you were touching?
Play it safe in the summer when the weather is right for that picnic.
So, go eat and be merry, just keep this list in mind when you grab that extra helping or two.
Isn’t your main goal to have fun, who wants to sit in the bathroom the whole time.
