Can you pack a sandwich with deli meat in a brown bag lunch?!
I want to pack my lunch for school, but is it safe to pack a sandwich with deli meats in it with no type of cooler and the only source of refrigeration being the other cool items!? I don't want to pack something that will make me sick at school!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
go ahead and pack the lunch just don't leave it out for to long most over the counter mayo acts as a preservative!. Pack it the night before along with the other items keep it in the refrigerator!. before you leave place it in your back pack it will help keep it cool!. try to eat it with in 4 hours 5 if it is still cold!. If it is warm and it has been longer then 4 hours it could be a risk!. I take a lunch with me some times and don't have any problems!. It may be a good idea to get a jell bag that you can freeze and put in your lunch!. then you can keep it longer!. hope this helps

I've never gotten sick from doing that many years but it depends on where you keep that bag, dont leave it in the sun all day keep it in a dry cool place and dont use turkey, chicken or similar meats!. Try to have your lunch as early as possible too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
it should be fine, since deli meat is processed for that kind of wear!. but if you are putting, Miracle Whip on it, it won't stay!. I say do it, it'll be soggy a bit but it will stay!.
Mayonaise doesn't spoil, that's why they have them in those little packets!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yeah that stuff is so salty its preserves , throughout time salt has been used as a preservative!. you will be safe & not get sick!. I wouldn't leave it unrefrigerated for days but a few hours is fine, i've done it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
its supose to be cold but if you keep it in the frige util the minute you have to go to school i do it anyways but my school eats lunch and12:45 or something like that!.!.!.it will be fineWww@FoodAQ@Com
I wouldn't risk it! Stick to PB and J unless you can store it in a cool place!. Especially since you would probably include condiments that could spoil, such as mayo!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
yea it's fine!. i have a friend that brought brown baged lunches with deli meat sandwitches, yougurt, fruit, cheese!.!.!. and we had 6th period lunch and her lunches were always fine!. no cooler!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
of course, basically everyone who brings lunches at my school does this, but if it is sitting there for like more then 6(!?) hours, you might want to check it
