Food Tip
There is a risk anytime perishable food is left at room temperature for more than two hours. To reduce the risk, freeze something to be included with the lunch such as a juice box or a small plastic container of water, which will keep the food cool until lunchtime. A small refreezable ice pack, like those used in coolers is also useful.
