Take Action!

Plan ahead to get food home safely.
Cold foods need to be put into a refrigerator or freezer as soon as possible. Follow these tips:

  • Cold food needs to be refrigerated within 2 hours. If it’s a hot day – over 90 °F (degrees Fahrenheit) – it needs to be refrigerated within 1 hour.
  • If you have other errands to do, save food shopping for last.
  • If you live far from the store, pack a cooler with ice for your cold items.
  • If you are driving and have air conditioning in your car, use it to help keep food cool.
  • Put cold foods in the refrigerator or freezer as soon as you get home.
