Keep your child’s lunch box cool
21 July, 2009
Ensuring our children’s lunch boxes stay cool is important to prevent foods warming up and risking your child’s safety.
Simple steps such as using a cool bag can keep bacteria from multiplying. Food poisoning bacteria multiply fast but they need moisture, food, warmth and time. A warm lunch box left sitting in a classroom can provide an ideal environment.
Bacteria multiplies best between 5ºC and 63ºC; a single germ can multiply to more than four million within eight hours in the right conditions.
