Picnics
Picnics are a way of life for many Australians; whether it’s a small gathering with friends in the park or a child’s birthday party, food seems to taste better when eaten outdoors.
- Chill food thoroughly in the fridge before the picnic
- Use an esky or cooler bag to transport food
- Keep food cold with ice, ice blocks and frozen drinks
- Wash and dry hands before preparing or eating food. Consider sanitising wipes or gel if there won't be any water
- Don’t eat food that’s meant to be in the fridge if left out for more than two hours
