Food Safety During Picnic Season

0

SILVER SPRING, Maryland, May 22, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Independence Day is fast approaching – and with it, picnics and cookouts.  As you plan your next outing, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration reminds you that foodborne bacteria multiply faster in warm weather — and the larger the dose of bacteria, the more likely it will lead to food poisoning (also known as foodborne illness).

Follow these tips to help ensure that your picnic basket is packed with food safety in mind!

Basic Warm-Weather Precautions To Prevent Food Poisoning

Prior to picnic time

  • Defrost meat, poultry, and seafood in the refrigerator or by submerging sealed packages in cold water. You can also microwave-defrost, but only if the food will be grilled immediately afterward. If marinating, use the fridge not the countertop. Never reuse marinade that contacted raw foods unless you boil it first or set some of the marinade aside before marinating food to use for sauce later.
  • Thoroughly wash all produce before eating even if you plan to peel it. The knife you use to peel it can carry bacteria into the part you eat. Fruits and vegetables that are pre-cut or peeled should be refrigerated or kept on ice to maintain quality and safety.
  • If your picnic site doesn’t offer clean water access, bring water or pack moist towels for cleaning surfaces and hands. Don’t forget to pack a food thermometer!

When packing coolers

  • Place food from the refrigerator directly into an insulated cooler immediately before leaving home and use lots of ice or ice packs to keep it at 40 °F or below.
  • Pack raw meat, poultry, and seafood in a separate cooler if possible, or wrap it securely and store at the bottom of the cooler where the juices can’t drip onto other foods. Place beverages in a separate cooler; this will offer easy drink access while keeping perishable food coolers closed.
  • Load coolers into the passenger compartment of the car — it’s cooler than the trunk. Once at the picnic site, keep food in coolers until serving time (out of direct sun) and avoid opening the lids often.

When grilling

  • Have clean utensils and platters available. Cook meat, poultry, and seafood to the right temperatures — use a food thermometer to be sure (see Safe Minimum Cooking Temperatures Chart). Keep cooked meats hot at 140 °F or warmer until serving time — set them to the side of the grill rack to keep them hot.
  • When removing foods from the grill, place them on a clean platter – never use the same platter and utensils you used for raw meat, poultry, or seafood.

Watch the time and outside temperature
Don’t let hot or cold food sit out in the “Danger Zone” (between 40 °F and 140 °F) for more than 2 hours – or 1 hour if the outdoor temperature is above 90 °F. If they do, discard them.

Olives from Spain presents the Mediterranean snack to enjoy the good weather

NEW YORK, May 22, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Spring can already be seen in its entire splendor. After the cold of winter, it is time to recover all those sunny hours. To do this, nothing is better than going out on the terrace, taking a simple walk in the park, having a barbecue or planning a trip. With thousands of years of light from the Mediterranean behind them, olives are the best ingredients for a radiant snack.

To view the Multimedia News Release, please click:  https://www.multivu.com/players/uk/8333351-olives-spain-mediterranean-snack-weather/ 

Spring is one of the best times of the year to think about outdoor activities. Temperatures move away from the lower area of the thermometer but are not yet installed in the suffocating heat typical of summer. They are in their most friendly range. The awakening of flowers and plants turn nature into a colorful decoration, bathed in more hours of daylight. An invitation to prepare a thousand and one activities with friends or family.

When it comes to organizing any leisure plan outside, the more attention is paid to all the details, the more likely that the final result will be a success. When to go, what clothes to wear or what route to follow are some of the issues that the organizer has to consider. In regards to the food to be prepared..  the answer lies in the olives. Thanks to the Mediterranean snack par excellence, what we carry in the bag will make the Trekking even healthier.

Olives from Spain, thanks to their campaign Have an Olive Day, which has the support of the European Union, puts succulent ideas at the reach of nature lovers in the USA to give a touch of Mediterranean Diet to their lunch. Opening a jar of olives is the first step to enjoy such simple elaborations at home that are the ideal complement to any outdoor activity. To enjoy in any way, with or without utensils, next to the water or on the lawn of the park.

Corona Renames The World Surf League’s Bali Pro To “Corona Bali Protected” To Bring Attention To Marine Plastic Pollution

0

KERAMAS, Indonesia, May 22, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — As title sponsor of the WSL’s Bali Pro Championship Tour event, Corona is transforming the previously announced “Corona Bali Pro” and renaming it “Corona Bali Protected.” This name change is aimed at sounding the alarm on one of the biggest threats to the survival of our oceans: marine plastic pollution. It stands for the vision of turning Bali into a pilot project, a blueprint for solving this global environmental issue by implementing the Parley AIR Strategy.

Last May, Corona made an ambitious commitment with Parley for the Oceans to protect 100 islands around the world from marine plastic pollution by 2020.  In addition to this commitment, Corona and Parley are now inviting brands of the consumer packaged goods industry to join a task force with the objective of leaving a lasting legacy in Bali’s coastal regions through the implementation of the Parley AIR strategy – Avoid plastic, Intercept plastic debris, and Redesign materials and products.

This new initiative will kick off at the start of the Corona Bali Protected event window with the following programs:

  • Beach cleanups with volunteers and ambassadors from Corona, Parley, and WSL PURE, the philanthropic arm of the WSL dedicated to ocean health. The cleanups will be organized in close collaboration with local communities, activists, and NGOs.
  • An immersive experience at the Corona x Parley Pavilion that will educate attendees about how plastic is destroying paradise while also highlighting ways that consumers, local industries, and global brands can all be part of the solution.
  • Inspirational and educational Parley Talks featuring Parley ambassadors and WSL athletes at the Casa Corona.
  • The Corona Highline specialty heat, a WSL-sanctioned surf competition featuring jerseys made from Parley Ocean Plastic® and surfboards and fins made from eco-innovative, upcycled materials.
  • 100% single-use plastic-free events and activations with recycling programs on-site. The Komune Resort & Beach Club, an eco-friendly resort which will host the event, is already setting the example in Bali with a plastic-free philosophy and progressive recycling facilities.

With this event, Corona and Parley are kicking off a series of collaboration sessions with local activists and NGOs, government authorities, local industries, and global consumer packaged goods brands with the objective of creating a 5-year action plan, which will be presented in October 2018 in Bali.

While this event will raise awareness for the need to protect Bali from marine plastic pollution, the Corona x Parley partnership has already made an impact in several regions around the world.  The Parley AIR Strategy is being implemented on over 30 islands in the Maldives, expanding to new islands in Australia, Mexico, Chile and the Dominican Republic.

The Corona Bali Protected in Keramas, Bali, Indonesia will take place from May 27 – June 9, 2018. For additional information, visit worldsurfleague.com/corona and 100islandsprotected.com

The Voice of Hispanic Marketing is rebranding as Culture Marketing Council: The Voice of Hispanic Marketing, which will continue to elevate the quality and effectiveness of U.S. marketing by harnessing the power of cultural expertise and impact to drive business results.

FAIRFAX, Va., May 21, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Culture Marketing Council: The Voice of Hispanic Market (CMC) announced today that Sprint is the winner of the 2018 CMC Marketer of the Year Award. Sprint joins a prestigious short list of elite brands that have received the award, including Ford, McDonald’s, State Farm, Toyota, and Walmart. Alberto Lorente, multicultural marketing director for Sprint, will accept the award and discuss the wireless carrier’s commitment to the Hispanic and multicultural market at CMC’s 2018 Annual Conference. The session will take place on Wednesday, June 6 at 9:00 a.m. at the Loews Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles.

The Voice of Hispanic Marketing is rebranding as Culture Marketing Council: The Voice of Hispanic Marketing, which will continue to elevate the quality and effectiveness of U.S. marketing by harnessing the power of cultural expertise and impact to drive business results.

“On behalf of Sprint, it’s an honor to be recognized by the Culture Marketing Council as Marketer of the Year,” said Lorente. “At Sprint, we are on a mission to deepen consumer connections through relevant messaging and innovative activations that highlight Sprint services, products and value.”

To be considered for this prestigious award, companies had to demonstrate a top-down commitment to multicultural marketing and significant spending commensurate with the opportunity in marketing efforts targeting Hispanics. Sprint’s commitment to the Hispanic Market has grown over the past few years, driven primarily by a culture that also values diversity going all the way to the top with CEO Marcelo Claure, the first-ever US Hispanic CEO of a major telecommunications company in the USA, and CMO Roger Solé.

Under the strategic approach of ‘promotion through emotion,’ Sprint launched several product/service offerings specifically tailored to the Hispanic audience becoming the first US provider to allow customers to pay for a loved one’s wireless plan in Mexico and El Salvador through its initiative with Movistar. Led by agency-of-record Alma, Sprint created 360-degree groundbreaking initiatives across emotional passion points in music, sports, and social responsibility. In addition to partnerships with entertainment platforms Pantaya, Flix Latino and  TIDAL, Sprint amplified its relationship with brand ambassador Prince Royce, providing US Hispanic consumers access to unique and relevant experiences tied to Prince Royce’s “FIVE” Tour. It served as the official wireless sponsor of the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup for the sixth year in a row and was a major sponsor of the “Somos Una Voz” benefit concert, raising funds to rush food, shelter, medicine, power and communications to those suffering from the effects of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico and Hurricane Irma in Florida. During this time, Sprint also waived fees for long distance texts and calls for people in disaster areas to help them communicate with loved ones during this difficult period. This collection of seamless and strategic efforts earned Sprint the “ANA Multicultural Excellence Award – 2017 Hispanic Grand Prize winner,” and a finalist spot in the Significant Results category.

“Sprint has gone beyond marketing to demonstrate its commitment to the Hispanic community and supported key causes to help the community in times of need, and that’s why they are our 2018 Marketer of the Year,” said CMC Executive Director Horacio Gavilan.

Taking place June 4-6 at the Loews Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles, the CMC Annual Conference is the premier multicultural marketing conference featuring dynamic and interactive sessions with notable newsmakers, C-suite leaders and top trendsetters in the industry. This year, the conference will educate the sharpest minds in media, marketing and communications on how to amp up their multicultural marketing innovation with the Power of C3: Creativity, Community and, above all, CULTURE. The new American mainstream, which is fueled by multicultural ethnicities and led by the dynamic state of the Hispanic consumer, is constantly evolving, but the three keys to ensure campaigns resonate and connect meaningfully with audiences remain the same: Creativity, Community & Culture.
