We all love to enjoy our holidays and weekends with friend’s families and dear ones and we have kids around and they want to enjoy too on these events so we plan picnics and get going to the place we love most.

Tips on picnic food safety

1. Keep things clean during preparation your chopping board, knife, work platform, utensils and not to forget your hands.

2. Separate raw food and cooked food during packing for a picnic as well.

3. Separate high risk (meats, sea food etc.) from low-risk food (vegetables, salads).

4. Stack properly- Pack the high risk food at the lowest level in your picnic basket in sealed bags pouches or containers.

5. Cook the food properly check the center of the food is properly cooked. Don’t pack partially cooked food as you are giving room for harmful bacteria to grow during transportation.

6. Transport safely in insulated containers – separate for cold and hot items

7. Don’t take out food from insulated until you need them.

8. Don’t leave your containers in the sun.

9. Discard leftover if they have been exposed to Room temperature for more than two hours.

10. My top tip would be to try packing non-perishable( tissue, disposable cutlery) and perishable(The FOOD) separately in separate baskets and let one person be responsible for safe handling of food in out from the basket. Multiple handling will increase the chance of cross-contamination.
