Microbiological Evaluation of Production Procedures for Frozen Foil Pack Meals at the Central Preparation Facility of the Francis E. Warren Air Force Base

Abstract

Food items produced at F.E. Warren AFB met the microbiological constraints of SAC Regulation 146-1. A Hazard Analysis (HA) to aid in production guidance was of limited value due to a lack of predictability of production procedures and would be of maximum utility only if quality was maximized. Sanitation was generally satisfactory but a lack of consistency in sanitizing surfaces was evident. Recommendations are made of improving current production procedures and for a new program to enable a realistic HA to be obtained and for making the laboratory more efficient.
