and caffeine.

confusion, nausea, cramps.

Knife Safety
It only takes a moment to injure yourself – practice knife safety.
• Keep your knife sharp. A dull blade is more likely to slip and
cut you.
• If your knife has a retractable blade retract it when not in use.
• If a knife drops, don’t try to catch it. Let it fall!
• When washing a kitchen knife, place in the
dishwasher blade down in the utensil holder. Scan the below QR Code to
