White Castle Promoting Food-Safety Education Month

    by Bryan Salvage on 9/7/00 for www.meatingplace.com

 

    For White Castle customers, food safety is in the bag.

 

    September is National Food Safety Education Month, and Columbus,

    Ohio-based White Castle is supporting the efforts of a key sponsor, the

    National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation's International

    Food Safety Council, by distributing food-safety tips via paper carryout

    bags in all its restaurants this month.

 

    A series of true or false questions on the blue-and-white-decorated

    sacks challenge consumers on critical food-handling issues. The

    sacks also encourage consumers to sing "Happy Birthday" twice while

    washing hands with soap and hot water to maintain good food-handling

    habits, according to a news release.

 

    The theme of the sixth annual National Food Safety Education Month

    is, "Be Smart. Keep Foods Apart. Don't Cross-Contaminate."

 

    Okay, it’s not “Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires,” but for more
