With summer in full swing you\u2019ve probably attended a picnic or two. Don\u2019t let the great outdoors leave you vulnerable to germs and infection. Here are 4 tips to have a healthy summer picnic:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Keep cold food cold.<\/b> Use gel packs or ice in your cooler to keep cold food at or below 40 \u2109 and prevent the growth of bacteria.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Keep hot food hot.<\/b> When grilling, cook your food thoroughly and keep it hot until serving. You may want to bring your food thermometer: the safe temperature for ground beef is 160 \u2109, and for chicken it\u2019s 165 \u2109.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Make sure all food prep and eating surfaces are clean.<\/b> Use disinfecting wipes to clean tables and chairs. Keep plates and utensils clean, and avoid cross-contamination while preparing food.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have everyone wash their hands!<\/b> Before preparing and eating food (and after touching most anything outdoors) simple soap and clean water from a jug will do for an outdoor handwashing. Moist towelettes are also a good option. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hand-washing remains the most effective prevention against the spread of germs in home and community settings. For extra confidence in your family\u2019s hand-washing abilities, use <\/span>GlitterBug Gel <\/span><\/a>or <\/span>Potion<\/span><\/a>, and help everyone enjoy the rest of a safe, healthy summer.<\/span><\/p>\n
