Food Service for the US Marine Corps in the 21st Century

San Diego is home to thousands of US Marines and as their provider of food services to the Garrison mess halls in the Western Region, Sodexo has worked with the quality and safety of their food service program for the past 9 years.

The Quality Control department is a customized functionality that works with the food service managers on a variety of topics including: food safety, OSHA standards, contractual compliance and improving guest safety and satisfaction.

To accomplish this goal we work on both consulting and educating the work force as well as inspecting their programs. In our locations that still serve as a training environment for Marine cooks, this role is doubly important in maintaining a continuous program of food safety since the turnover of personnel is quiet frequent. Learn how our armed forces are changing and driving change within the military food service arena and be exposed to a little of the challenges faced by the Sodexo operations teams.

The presentation will also cover some of the complicated boundaries between US government regulations, local regulations, and state regulations and how our team acts as intermediaries for the operations team.
