Kellogg provides information to employees on flu outbreak

Hygiene is critical! The CDC reminds people that practicing frequent hand washing and other good hygiene measures are critical to helping prevent the spread of the H1N1 flu and other diseases. Also, avoid touching your face – and, if you do, be sure your hands are clean. You should also avoid contact with people who are obviously sick.

As with most organizations, Kellogg Company has plans in place to manage a health crisis. In line with those plans, the company has been providing information relative to business travel as well as infection-prevention tips regarding the recent H1N1 flu, commonly referred to as the "swine flu."
