Food Safety
A reminder to all parents about school lunches from home. When the weather is warm we encourage parents to:
· Put a frozen container, such as a frozen drink, in the lunchbox with food that is normally refrigerated, such as ham and yogurt. Alternatively, use an insulated lunchbox or a cooler.
· Avoid including food in lunches that would normally be kept in the refrigerator, especially during the summer months (Terms 1 and 4).
· When preparing school lunches avoid perishable foods, which have just been cooked or warmed, such as hamburgers or boiled eggs. Such foods should be cooled in the refrigerator before being packed for lunches.
· Discard any leftovers and do not re‐use. Once at school, students should also be reminded not to store lunches in direct sunlight.
