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.
