Beware of food poisoning

Chicken salad, vegetable dip and potato salad may sound like ingredients for the perfect picnic, but those foods could spoil your day if they are not properly packed. Attorney General Linley Pearson says Hoosiers can avoid becoming ill after a summer picnic if they use common sense when packing their perishable foods. ■=> The best way to fight food poisoning caused by food that has spoiled is to keep perishable foods cold between preparation and serving, particularly if the menu includes meat. The United States Department of Agriculture advises picnickers to keep salads prepared with mayonnaise on ice, but says mayonnaise purchased at a grocery store is not a food poisoning agent. Pearson says the USDA advises that homemade mayonnaise prepared without lemon juice or vinegar can be risky. Mayonnaise purchased at the grocery store has a high acid content, and contrary to popular belief, is safe to use on picnic foods. Just remember to keep the salads cold until they are eaten. Food poisoning bacteria are difficult to spot because they can-

not be seen, smelled or tasted. Flu-like symptoms will later appear, letting you know too late the food was nfft safe. Food poisoning bacteria begin to multiply at 60 degrees and warmer, making outings in 80 degree weather reason for concern. Hoosiers can avoid trouble is all foods are packed in a cooler which seals. Pack the food just before you leave instead of several hours before your departure time. The cooler should be well-insulated and packed with ice or freeze-pack inserts. If possible, keep the cooler in the shade when you reach your destination. Once you have finished eating, return perishable foods to the cooler. If you plan to grill meat or chicken during your outing, make certain it is thoroughly cooked. If you are planning a camping trip, take food which dpes not need ice. Canned foods or food in jars is best for camping trips of several days. If you must take food which needs to be kept in a cooler, plan to use it first. When shopping for picnic foods, buy perishable foods last. It is best not to leave them in a hot oar while completing other errands.
