This Military Standard is approved for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense (DOD). 2. This Military Standard specifies technical requirement
3、s for inspection of subsistence and food service functions to ensure clean, wholesome food products that are free from physical contaminants and to prevent transmission of foodborne disease to members of the Armed Forces, their beneficiaries, and DOD civilians.

4、ations pertaining to these matters, the purpose of this standard is to select and compile the particular requirements and verification provisions, which have uniquely military applications. 3. This standard is applicable to all elements within the DOD involved in the inspection of subsistence items
5、purchased with either appropriated or non-appropriated funds. This standard will not be used to determine the capability of an establishment to produce or furnish products or services which are in compliance with specifications or other purchase documents. 4. Beneficial comments (recommendations, ad
