Cooler food safety (video)

Coolers are a great way to transport your food and drinks, but a poorly packed cooler is also a great way to get sick. So follow these simple steps:

  • Choose a cooler with excellent insulation and make sure it's clean.
  • Keep your food in the fridge until just before you're ready to leave.
  • Pack meats, fish and chicken in containers and place them at the bottom of the cooler.
  • Add cold packs or frozen drinks on top and use a tight-fitting lid.
