Always wash
hands before preparing or eating a snack. This is the one of best ways to
prevent food spoilage and contamination. Wash all fruits and veggies under cold
running water. Clean all lunch
boxes, thermal bags, plastic utensils and containers in hot soapy water. DO NOT
re-use plastic wrapping and bags.
Keep foods cold
-Yogurt, deli meats and cheese should be
kept cold.
-Be sure to keep lunches in the fridge
until the morning and include an ice pack or frozen juice pack when sending
lunches to school.
-Left-overs that are to be re-heated in
the microwave should also be kept cold until ready to eat.
Keep hot foods hot
-Use a thermos or insulated bottle to keep foods
hot.
