Seasons Change, But Food Safety Steps Shouldn't Before the summer closes out, many will embark on one last getaway. While you're packing the suntan lotion, bug spray and camping gear, don't forget your fundamentals for food safety. Road Trip If you're bringing perishables in your car, have a cooler large enough to keep sufficient ice or freezer packs. - Pack perishable foods directly from the refrigerator or freezer into the cooler. Meat and poultry may be packed while they are still frozen. Use an appliance thermometer in your cooler to monitor that your food stays chilled at 40 F or below.
- Keep raw meat and poultry wrapped separately from cooked foods or foods meant to be eaten raw, such as fruits.
- For long trips, take two coolers—one for the day's immediate food needs, such as lunch, drinks or snacks, and the other for perishable foods to be used later.
