Taking care of the kid's school lunches School bells will soon be ringing in the first day of a new school year. As these bells ring they will re-awaken a group of school goers, I like to call "The Sack Lunch Bunch." These school goers are unique because they have parents who rise at the crack of dawn to lovingly prepare a lunch which is to be taken to school. By mid-afternoon panic strikes when the principal calls to say that Johnny is sick after eating the lunch you so lovingly prepared. You can prevent the "sack lunch bug" from striking by following a few simple precautions. 1. Be particularly careful when preparing the food. You might put bacteria in the food by careless food preparation. Always have clean hands, utensils and cutting surfaces after they've been used with raw meats, fish and poultry then other foods. Sanitize your cutting board by scrubbing with chlorine containing cleanser or a solution of two tablespoons chlorine in one gallon of water. 2. Select foods with care. Those that will stay safe without refrigeration are peanut butter and jam or jelly, nuts, hard cheeses, crackers, canned foods (in the can), fresh fruits and vegetables, dried foods, bread, cookies, cakes, fruit pies, hard cooked eggs in the shell, marinated vegetables salads. 3. Carry your lunch in a metal lunch box. Metal is a better insulator than paper and is easy to keep clean and sanitary. 4. The familiar vacuum bottle or thermos is a good way to keep food hot or cold. There are several other ways to keep food cold. Ideally, you should put your lunch in a refrigerator if one is available. If not, place a frozen drink or block of ice (frozen in a plastic container) in with your luneh. 5. You might try freezing certain types of sandwiches. Frozen sand wiches thaw in time for lunch and will help keep the rest of the lunch Ei tension north Carolina AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION SERVICE By Juonito Bailey lit 441 ft c**t cool. Keep in mind that certain foods don't freeze well (cooked eggs, salad greens, tomatoes, etc.) 6. Never let your lunch sit in a warm place such as on the top of the radiator. Bacteria will multiply faster, and the possibility of sickness occuring increases. 7. If no refrigeration is available, follow a few exu?. precautions in packing your lunch. Use only fresh, high quality ingredients. Add some acid ingredients such as pickles, olives, pickle relish, vinegar (acid will help prevent the growth of bacteria.) Spread a thorough coat of mayonnaise on the surface of the sandwich filling (mayonnaise is an acid food and will help prevent bacteria from multiplying). 8. Sack lunch no-nos. Do not do any of the following: leave the lunch in a hot-spot ? the sun, on a radiator, or next to the heating duct; pack perishable items without taking the special precautions listed previously. Never do the following: save a lunch with perishable ingredients from one day to the next; fall into the habit of careless food preparation techniques. If you're ill don't prepare food. Wash your hands before food preparation and after handling meat, fish or poultry. A clean utensil is better than your hands for mixing. Contact your county extension office for more information on sack lunches.
