Long Transit Times
Section 8 of 16
“Oh, right. Thanks for reminding me. I’m supposed to check the temperature anyway. I’m just so stressed! The Pizza Planet across town just called and they have over 30 refrigerated pizzas to donate because their big outdoor pizza bash was rained out last night. It’s about a 20 mile round trip, and with the beach traffic it will probably take an hour or more. Will you take our van and go pick the pizzas up?"
You decide you have time for that, but then you realize that June hasn't provided everything you need to safely pick up and deliver those pizzas.
If the temperature of the food rises above 40° F, there’s an increased risk that harmful bacteria will multiply and cause illness or death for those who eat it. Since the pizzas aren’t frozen and it’s going to take you over an hour in 90° F weather to get them, what type of container should you take? If you are not sure, consult the transport time and temperature chart.
