Spring Picnic Season: Keep Your Food Safe in LA Heat

Panko Alerts · April 19, 2026

April in LA means picnic weather, but temperatures above 70°F can make bacteria multiply fast in your takeout and packed lunches. Keep cold foods like sandwiches, salads, and drinks in a cooler with ice, and don't leave them sitting out for more than 2 hours (or just 1 hour when it's over 90°F). If you're grabbing food from Grand Central Market or hitting up a food truck before heading to Griffith Park, eat it right away or pack it cold to stay safe.
