[Lindsey Smith] These days, more Americans are bringing their lunch to work – an often
healthier and less expensive option. When bringing your lunch to work, always
follow these food safety reminders:
Chill It! Walk your lunch to a refrigerator immediately upon arriving
at work. [Person walking down the hall and placing their lunch into the
refrigerator] If a refrigerator is not available, include a frozen gel pack or
frozen juice box with perishable food in an insulated lunch bag or lunch box.

Clean It! Wash hands and surfaces (including desktop) with warm, soapy
water before and after preparing or eating food. [Person cleaning the
countertop with paper towels]
Toss It! After lunch, discard any uneaten perishable food and used
food packaging and paper bags. Reusing packaging could contaminate other food
and cause food borne illness. [Person throwing away their trash]
[Lindsey Smith] Following these three easy steps can help prevent food borne illness.
