Don’t leave picnic food sitting out too long. Perishables should not sit out over 2 hours (or more than 1 hour if above 90 °F) to avoid the “Danger Zone” where bacteria multiply rapidly. Promptly refrigerate leftovers.
~~~~~~~~~~~
No deje la comida del picnic demasiado tiempo fuera. Los alimentos perecederos no deben permanecer fuera más de 2 horas (o más de 1 hora si la temperatura supera los 32 °C) para evitar la "Zona de Peligro", donde las bacterias se multiplican rápidamente. Refrigere las sobras inmediatamente.

Your health is worth more than a discount. 🛒❗
Before you fire up the grill or pack for a picnic, check those expiration dates. Expired food can look fine but still make you sick. Stay safe and smart—check dates, not just deals!

🧊 Safe food = happy, healthy meals.
~~~~~~~~~
Tu salud vale más que un descuento. 🛒❗
Antes de encender la parrilla o preparar un picnic, revisa las fechas de caducidad. La comida caducada puede parecer buena, pero aun así te puede enfermar. Cuídate y sé inteligente: ¡revisa las fechas, no solo las ofertas!

🧊 Alimentos seguros = comidas felices y saludables.
