Helvetica Typeface Anniversary

To: All Employees
From: HR Department
Re: Helvetica Typeface Anniversary

It has come to our attention that some employees are planning to observe the 50th anniversary of the Helvetica typeface by bringing home-baked goodies to the workplace. We remind you that our company has strict guidelines regarding the introduction of self-prepared foods in the workplace.

1. Proper sanitary practices should be followed when preparing, transporting, displaying and serving baked goods.
2. Foods ALLOWED (usually considered to be safe) include: breads, buns, biscuits, cakes, loaves, cookies, muffins, fruit pies and tarts, and doughnuts.
3. Foods NOT ALLOWED (potentially hazardous) contain meat, dairy products and raw eggs. Cream- or meat-filled pies and pastries, meringue and pumpkin pies; custards and puddings; icings containing raw eggs and home-canned foods are not permitted.
4. All food must be individually wrapped in new food-grade materials to protect from contamination. For example, a new paper plate covered and sealed with plastic wrap. Dispensing of unwrapped food is not allowed. Foods packaged in used materials such as Styrofoam trays, plastic bags, cardboard boxes, etc. are not acceptable.
5. All food items must be labeled with a list of ingredients and the date the food was prepared.

By following these guidelines, everyone will have a safe celebration of Helvetica's anniversary.
