How do I pack and carry meals safely?

Meals for busy days are only convenient if they stay safe. The USDA FSIS guide to leftovers says to discard perishable food that has been left at room temperature for more than two hours, or one hour if the temperature is above 90°F, and to keep cold perishable food at 40°F or below.

Practical ideas: chill cooked food quickly in shallow containers, use an insulated bag with an ice pack for lunches, and reheat to 165°F before eating. Dishes that travel well include grain salads, bean wraps, nut-based dips with raw vegetables, soups in a flask and sandwiches with firm fillings.

Prepare components on the weekend and assemble them during the week to cut effort. A little planning means a lunch you enjoy, not a rushed purchase. If you are pregnant, older or have a weakened immune system, be more careful with leftovers and deli-style salads.
