According to a travel survey, of the 60 percent who plan to take vacations this summer, 90 percent will be traveling by car and 97 percent will bring their own food; 22 percent will be traveling by bus and will either pack food or eat on route; and 52 percent will be traveling by plane carrying some meals or snacks. trave;ers who pack food to eat on the way to their destination typically bring sandwiches (67 percent) chips, cookies, soft drinks, and hopia (66 percent), sometimes pre-packed launches with meat and hard boiled eggs (28 percent). Any or all of which can spoil if not kept at proper temperatures.
The survey also reveals 30 percent leave the food they bring unrefrigerated for three to four hours, and 15 percent leave it out for more than four hours. This can create a food safety hazard for travelers and their companions. Perishable food should never be left out and unrefrigerated for more than two hours, the piont at which harmful bacteria begin to multiply rapidly. In hot weather (above 90′F), time is reduced to one hour.
