It is therefore important to keep our food safe
Therefore, it is important to keep our food safe
We know this can be avoided in 4 simple steps

3. 4 SIMPLE STEPS Keep food clean Separate: don’t cross contaminate
Cook it well
Cool it soon

4. Creating the tri-fold
Decided to use “Fight Bac” and “We wish you well” handouts as they are clearly formed and have been used by the educators
To keep the message consistent and not confuse the students

5. Tri-fold design and layout
Went with the fall theme to focus on Thanksgiving holiday
Your input and feedback was helpful in formulating a simple and easy to follow message
But also relevant to other holidays and gatherings in general
Your feedback was helpful in terms of what works (reaches to audience) what doesn’t, what colors, fonts, pictures work too
