Prepare healthy and safe food

Bring healthy snacks along on your camping trip, including 100% juice boxes, water, dried fruit (e.g. raisins, apples, or dates), trail mix, fresh whole fruit, baked veggie chips, no-added sugar applesauce in individual containers. Follow these steps to keep your food safe:

  • Pack foods in tight, waterproof bags or containers. Keep them in an insulated cooler.
  • Wash hands and surfaces often.
  • Separate raw foods from cooked foods.
  • Cook foods to proper temperatures (i.e. ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees).
  • Chill foods promptly.
