Army Food Service Program Regulations
- AR 30-22 governs the army food program, issued on 24 July 2012.
- DA PAM 30-22 serves as the operation procedures manual for the army food program since 6 February 2007.
- TM 4-41.11 (formerly FM 10-23-2) provides technical guidance for dining facility operations.
Nutrition and Food Safety
- Nutrition standards are outlined in AR 40-25.
- TM 4-41.12 governs food program operations.
- Biological hazards are the most serious risk in dining facilities; other hazards include chemical and physical.
Roles and Responsibilities
- The dining facility manager, often the senior food operation sergeant, is in charge of operations.
- The shift leader oversees job performance of food operations NCOs and specialists, handling specific tasks like cooking or training.
Food Preparation and Quality Control
- Food service specialists are primarily responsible for meal preparation, cooking, and serving.
- Pilferage refers to the theft of small quantities of food.
- Inspection types for subsistence items include visual, sampling, and full inspections. Unsatisfactory indicators for meat include odor, color, and texture anomalies.
Food Storage Guidelines
- Food must be stored at least 6 inches off the floor.
- The "first in, first to expire" (FIFO) method applies to most food items, except bread which follows the "last in, first out" (LIFO) method.
- Ice buildup in refrigeration should not exceed 1/4 inch; butter and eggs should be stored separately due to odor absorption.
Cooking and Reheating Procedures
- PHFs (Potentially Hazardous Foods) can be held at specific temperatures and times to ensure safety (e.g., chilled to 40°F or below, hot at 140°F or above).
- Leftover food must be reheated rapidly to 165°F for at least 15 seconds; some foods should not be retained as leftovers to prevent spoilage.
Cooking Techniques and Methods
- Important cooking temperatures: poultry should reach 165°F minimum for safety.
- Yeast-raised products differ from quick breads primarily in leavening agents used.
- Proper methods for determining cooked doneness include using a meat thermometer or checking texture.
Foodborne Illness Prevention
- Common factors contributing to foodborne illness include improper temperature handling, inadequate cooking, and cross-contamination.
- Thaw foods in the refrigerator, under potable water, or directly in the cooking process.
Cooking Terminology
- Various terms such as "blanch", "cream", "dredge", and "whip" describe specific cooking actions pertinent to food preparation.
- Understanding these terms is essential for proper kitchen operations and recipe adherence.
Documentation and Food Management Forms
- DA Form 5913 is used for strength and feeder reports.
- DA Form 3032 captures headcount data for meals served to enlisted personnel.
- DA Form 5914 acts as a ration control sheet, tracking food supply and usage.
Coffee and Cake Preparation Guidelines
- Fresh brewed coffee should be maintained at 185°F for no more than one hour.
- Cakes can be checked for doneness by the spring-back method or toothpick test; common issues include cracks or poor flavor stemming from ingredient quality.
