Food Prep For Hurricane Season: News Junkies Cafe
With hurricane season now underway, Chef Patrick Mould said everyone should "try to prepare ahead of time when it comes to food and water."
Mould, who joined "Nathan & Bernie in the Morning," said you should create a shopping list of items you would need during a hurricane, but he said you should get those items before the threat of a storm.
"If you plan ahead...you can avoid the big rush," Mould said.
During a hurricane, Mould suggested lowering the temperature on your refrigerator so that you can preserve your food longer in the event of a power outage. He also suggested keeping a portable container of non-perishable food and keep it stored in your car or another location.
Also, if you suspect food may have come into contact with flood waters, throw it out.
