Food Safety Tips
• Arrange food in the cooler so that the items you’ll be eating first are on top.
• Pack the cooler as full as you can to keep it cold (or hot, if that’s your goal).
• Don’t transport your cooler in the trunk of your car, which exposes it to extreme heat.
• Keep your cooler in the shade, if possible.

These are just some tips to get you started. For more information and to read this full article, visit the health and wellness section
