Do some shopping. How long can your groceries stay in the car?
The traffic information service regularly tweets warnings not to forget your child or dog in the car. If it is 29 degrees outside, it will be 40 degrees in your car after 10 minutes. After half an hour it is 48 degrees and after more than an hour the temperature even rises to 54 degrees.

Would you put your groceries in a hot can? Probably not. If you see in the table below how hot it gets in the car, you will immediately understand that it is best to leave your groceries in your car for as short a time as possible. Bacteria thrive in the heat and you want to avoid getting sick from your newly purchased ingredients.
Grab fresh and perishable products at the end of your supermarket visit and do not go to other stores after your supermarket visit. Optionally, you can bring a cooling element to put in your shopping bag.
In winter, on the other hand, it can sometimes be colder in your car than your fridge. Then a stopover to get coffee while the groceries are in the car can't hurt.
