During summer picnics, especially on the Fourth of July, food safety is paramount to avoid food poisoning. It's essential to keep food in the car's main area instead of the trunk because the trunk does not maintain safe temperatures. The U.S. FDA recommends avoiding the 'danger zone' of 40-140°F where bacteria thrive. Foods should remain either below 40°F or above 140°F and not be left out for more than two hours. Utilize insulated coolers for safe food transport and separate raw and cooked foods to prevent contamination.
When transporting food to your picnic, it's crucial to keep it in the car itself rather than in the trunk, which is actually the worst place.
The key rule of transporting food for summertime picnics is to avoid 'the danger zone' between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit where bacteria can thrive.
