Pizza is a safe food to eat while traveling due to high cooking temperatures. Boiled foods and freshly cooked meats are also safe options. Peeling fruit before consumption and choosing dishes that require less handling in restaurants can reduce the risk of contamination.

Finding safe foods to eat when traveling can be a challenge. One of the safest foods to eat when traveling abroad or even domestically is pizza. This is because the dish is usually cooked at a very high temperature, minimizing the potential for food poisoning. Nuts and other types of foods served straight from the shell are also likely to be safe options. When it comes to beverages, hot coffee and tea are usually safe, as long as they’re served without any unpasteurized dairy products.

Freshly cooked foods are generally safer than foods that have been cooked and reheated, because the latter are more likely to have been exposed to airborne contaminants. Boiled foods are good options. Cuts of meat should always be prepared well done rather than medium or rare.
Fruit that needs to be peeled is a better choice than fruit desserts that have been cooked several hours before being served. The fruit is peeled just before consumption, so the possibility of contamination is minimized.
When eating in a restaurant, ordering a dish that does not have to be handled by the waiter just before consumption is considered a safer option. The safest option is to choose something that goes straight from pot to plate to table. Less handling means less risk of contamination from bacteria and other contaminants.
