Preparing a Safe and Healthy Packed Lunch

August 2, 2012 by Pam Maynard

 

Aside from the health benefits it gives you, bringing baon to school or work also provides you the perfect trick to save money. However, there some important things that you need to consider if you wish to pack a safe and satisfying lunch.

 

Purchasing:

In doing your grocery, buy canned and preserved goods before perishable items. This is to ensure the freshness upon check out.

When purchasing food for your packed lunch, be sure to check the expiry date since you would be storing them and eating them at a much later date.

 

Preparing:

Wash hands thoroughly with warm, soapy water before and after handling food to avoid spreading germs.

Reduce risks of food poisoning by keeping lunch bag/box clean.

Wash utensils and lunch bag/box properly.

Prepare food in a clean, dry place. Prepare food on a table where there is less dust.

Keep rubbish away from the cooking and preparation area.

 

Packing:

Hot foods should be packed in insulated thermal containers while cold foods should be packed in insulated containers. For cold lunch, you can place frozen gel packs to keep your food cold, or freeze a boxed juice or small bottled water and place it in your lunch bag.

The iced juice or water will also serve as a refreshing drink during your lunch.

If you’re packing saucy dishes, it’s much better if you set the sauce in a separate leak-free container to avoid spoilage.

Packed lunch should be prepared on the day it is to be eaten. If you’re going to prepare the night before, make sure you keep it refrigerated.

 

Add-ons:

Bring a healthy dessert or any food that will complete your meal. A dessert after each meal satisfies your appetite so you don’t have to eat and spend money on food every time you feel like.

If you’re going to reheat food in the microwave, cover the food to hold in the moisture.

For the leftovers, you must first check if the food can still be eaten. Leftovers that are stored for a while and then brought home may not be safe to eat. If you have leftovers and you’re doubtful about it, rule is simple: Throw it out.
