I am new to packing lunches/snacks, so please excuse the novice questions.
DC has an insulated lunchbox (Beatrix).

Do I still need to put an ice back in the bag to keep the food safe and cool (like berries and cheese)?
Do I need to chill the insulated lunchbox in the fridge or freezer before packing it?
If I do need an ice pack - what do people recommend that is nontoxic and sweat-free?
I don't want anything soft that DC could puncture.
Thanks!
