515 So.2d 337 (1987)

Henry KEEL, d/b/a Medical Business Consultants, Appellant,
v.
QUALITY MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC., a Florida Corporation, Appellee.

No. 87-1694.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

November 10, 1987.

Herbert A. Warren and Richard A. Warren, Miami, for appellant.

Akerman, Senterfitt & Eidson and Kirk L. Burns, Miami, for appellee.

Before NESBITT, DANIEL S. PEARSON and JORGENSON, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

We reverse the order under review which temporarily enjoined the defendant, Henry Keel, a former employee of Quality Medical Systems, Inc., from "soliciting business ... with [sic] any of Quality Medical's existing customers," as the evidence adduced at the injunction hearing simply does not demonstrate, as it must, that the customer information was confidential or was a business or trade secret. Pure Foods v. Sir Sirloin, Inc., 84 So.2d 51 (Fla. 1955); Inland Rubber Corp. v. Helman, 237 So.2d 291 (Fla. 1st DCA 1970); Renpak, Inc. v. Oppenheimer, 104 So.2d 642 (Fla. 2d DCA 1958).

Reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
