Food Storage

Store your food safely to prevent spoiling

Almost all foods have a risk of spoilage, eventually. Maintaining freshness depends on storage temperatures and expiration dates.

Proper food storage preserves both the food quality and the nutritional value.

Proper storage helps prevent spoilage. No spoilage reduces the chance of food-borne illnesses and cuts down on waste.

Food Storage in Travel

Store your food properly to transport it safely

Perishables should be in a chilled area. If the time of travel will be more than one hour, plan ahead and pack an insulated container with ice.

Place raw meat and poultry in individual plastic bags to prevent meat from contaminating other foods.

It would be easiest to just bring nonperishable foods and/or foods that don't require an alternate temperature setting for safety.
