There’s often no getting around packing food and water for a camping trip. But make sure you pack the right stuff properly to help prevent food-borne illness.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests:

• Store food in waterproof, tightly-sealed containers, and store inside an insulated cooler.
• Frequently wash cooking surfaces and hands with soap and water. Use hand sanitizer if soap and water aren’t available.
• Separate foods that are cooked or raw.
• Thoroughly cook any food to its recommended temperature.
• Chill any leftovers as soon as possible.
