This government file outlines guidelines and requirements for federal food service contractors, focusing on two main references: the Food Service Guidelines for Federal Facilities and the Presidential Memorandum titled “Creating a Preference for Meat and Poultry Produced According to Responsible Antibiotic-Use Policies” (CRAU). The CRAU memorandum, issued on June 2, 2015, encourages a preference for meat and poultry produced with responsible antibiotic-use policies, supporting an emerging market and building on FDA efforts to phase out medically important antibiotics in food animals. Contractors are strongly encouraged to increase offerings of certified responsible antibiotic-use meat and poultry and are required to submit quarterly reports. Templates for extensions, waivers, and quarterly reports (including detailed data metrics on purchasing, preparation, and sales of both certified responsible antibiotic-use and conventional products) are provided. The USDA Process Verified Program (GVD 1001) is referenced as the oversight entity for auditing and verification of meat and poultry standards. Additional references include basement floor plans and GSA Levels Descriptions, which appear to be unrelated to the main topic of food service guidelines and antibiotic-use policies.
