Apple cider
It may be tempting to stop by a roadside stand to try the fresh cider—especially if you’re with kids who are “soooo thirsty”—but proceed with caution. When apples (and other fruits) are pressed, any bacteria on the outer surface can get into the juice.

To be safe, ask if the juice has been treated for safety, says Dr. Griffin. If not, head to the supermarket and look for a carton that indicates the juice has been pasteurized.
