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 bricks 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 2 hours.
