FOOD SAFETY FOR SACK LUNCHES

For the safety of your students, please keep the following tips in mind when on a field trip:

Some foods need to stay cold to keep bacteria from multiplying and making students sick. To ensure our students, safety, sack lunches are sent in insulated coolers. These foods include:

• Meat and poultry sandwiches or salads
• Milk, cheese (except cheese that is individually packaged such as the individual portions of American cheese or string cheese) or yogurt
• Opened cans of fruits or puddings

• Peanut butter sandwiches
• Cookies
• Crackers
• Commercially dried fruits
• Unopened cans of fruits or puddings
• Unopened juice boxes
• Fruit-filled pastries
Remember to give your site Child Nutrition Services Manager a minimum of ten school days notice on any field trip you are taking, so that your lunches will be ready and waiting for you! The field trip sack lunch scheduling form is available under Business: Forms and Documents on this web site.
