Spring Picnic Safety: Keep Food Cool in SF's Sunny Weather

Panko Alerts · April 19, 2026

April's warm afternoons in SF are perfect for picnics, but bacteria grow fast when food sits above 40°F. If you're bringing takeout from your favorite Mission burrito spot or Chinatown dim sum to the park, eat it within 2 hours or keep it in a cooler with ice packs. When in doubt, remember: if perishable food has been sitting out for more than 2 hours (or 1 hour if it's over 90°F), throw it out.
