Pack A Safe School Lunch This Fall
§
More than 23 million American
children will start taking their lun-
ches when school opens soon, and
whether the food is safe to eat may
depend on how it’s prepared.
A nutritionist with the Texas
Agricultural Extension Services
says that food-borne illness is a big-
ger problem than most people think.
Between 24 and 81 million cases of
this disease are reported each year.
“The best defense against food-
borne illness is safe food and handl-
ing practices,” Dr. Mary Kinney
Sweeten said. “This means taking
precautions every time food is
prepared.”
Sweeten advises those who pack
lunches for school, work, trips or
other events to follow these tips:
• Keep everything that touches
food clean. Stop and wash utensils,
bowls and counter tops in between
working on each dish.
• Use a fork, not your hands, to
mix meat, macaroni, egg, tuna or
green salad. Your hands continually
pick up bacteria and other germs
that get into fingernails and in the
creased skin of the hands. Only

vigorous washing with hot, soapy
water prepares hands to deal safely
with food.
• Cook food thoroughly. For com-
plete safety, raw meat, poultry and
fish should be thoroughly cooked,
following package or cookbook
directions.
• Refrigerate lunch fixed the
night before. Pack your bag with 4
perishables — meat or poultry sand-
wiches, hard-boiled eggs — and
refrigerate it. Add chips and cookies
and cold drinks the following morn-
ing.
It is always best to refrigerate
your lunch, but since most children
have no way to refrigerate their
lunch at school, Sweeten suggest
following these tips to keep food
cold:
• Put something cold in the lunch *
bag. This could be a frozen cold
drink; a small, plastic refrigerator
dish filled with water; or one of the
new commercial gels. Also, some
lunch boxes now come with freeze
pack inserts.
• Freeze sandwiches. This works
best with coarse, textured breads
that won’t get soggy when thawing.
The sandwich thaws in time for lun-
ch, and it keeps everything else cool
in the meantime. Sandwich extras — #
lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise —
don’t freeze well. Pack them
separately.
• Use a thermos to keep milk or
juice cold, or try the new fruit juices
in wax paper cartons that need no
refrigeration.
• Keep your lunch in the coolest
place possible. Never leave it in
direct sun or on a warm surface.
Sweeten said some foods are safer ^
to take along for lunch than others. ™
Commercially prepared and ready
to eat meat, such as corn beef,
salami and bologna, are good lunch
box choices because they keep well.
“Canned meat and poultry, which
can be opened and eaten immediate-
ly, are also good choices,” she said.
“Before you buy these, make sure
the cans are properly sealed and not
rusted, bulging or badly dented.”
Fruits and vegetables go well with
any lunch, Sweeten said. Wash them
before packing to remove soil,
bacteria, viruses and insecticide
sprays.
“It’s also important to take care of
your lunch container,” Sweeten
said. “Wash lunch boxes and
laminated totes thoroughly every
night to keep bacteria from growing
inside.” A weekly wash with baking
soda eliminates odors.
Use only new, clean bags, Sweeten Of
said. Bags that have carried
groceries can pass insects .or
bacteria from other food to your lun-
ch. Wet or stained bags carry a lot of
germs.
Ice Cream Social
Planned Aug. 25 (

tional barbershop organization for

Christi Aug. 25 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
