Food safety at the beach: ministry tips for holidaymakers

The Directorate General of Food and Control warned holidaymakers who take food to the beach against foodborne illness. The advice includes taking only as much food as will be eaten, carrying cold and hot foods separately, preserving the cold chain with ice packs and cooler bags, keeping the bag out of direct sunlight, and minding hand hygiene. Leftovers that cannot be stored at a proper temperature may pose a risk.
