Stop Scuzzy Fridges!

[Alice Henneman]

Hi Everyone!

"The Scariest Thing In Many Offices Is The Scuzzy Fridge" according to a
recent headline in the Wall Street Journal." 

The article goes on to say: "A monster is lurking in the break rooms of
companies across the nation. It's the office refrigerator, bulging at the
seams as leftover plastic-foam boxes and forgotten Tupperware containers
fight for space with open cans of Coke and rotting fruit."  

My assistant and I decided to take up the challenge! We put together a
one-page handout on refrigerator food safety and have been posting this on
refrigerators all over town through company wellness programs, etc. 

If you'd like to join the Stop Scuzzy Fridges campaign, download a free

"Copy-ready Handouts."  There's a space for you to add your name in a
"distributed by" section.
