About this file
This is an Air Force Instruction (AFI 48-116) issued by the Department of the Air Force establishing mandatory food safety program compliance standards for all Air Force food service operations. The instruction implements the Air Force Policy Directive on Aerospace Medicine and applies to Regular Air Force personnel, Air Force Reserve Command, Air National Guard personnel, direct reporting units, field operating agencies, and government contractors performing food service work. The document establishes comprehensive food safety and quality assurance standards that must be applied across all Air Force installations in addition to federal, state, local, and tribal regulations. It defines roles and responsibilities for multiple stakeholders including the Air Force Surgeon General, installation commanders, food facility supervisors and managers, procurement and contracting offices, Base Civil Engineering, the Aerospace Medicine Council, and Public Health offices. The instruction requires compliance with AFMAN 48-147 (Tri-Service Food Code) and mandates minimum standards for food procurement from approved sources, receipt inspections, food handler training, facility design and sanitation, pest management, and foodborne illness outbreak investigation and reporting procedures.
The instruction establishes operational requirements rather than pricing terms or contract award conditions. Key compliance requirements include designation of certified Food Protection Managers as "Persons In Charge" at all food facilities during operating hours, mandatory initial four-hour food protection training for food employees within thirty days of employment with annual refresher training, conduct of minimum facility risk assessments using DD Form 2972, and routine sanitation inspections at frequencies approved by the Aerospace Medicine Council. Public Health offices serve as the regulatory authority responsible for approving food sources, conducting inspections using DD Form 2973, investigating foodborne illness outbreaks, and managing DoD food recall (ALFOODACT) procedures. The instruction includes specific requirements for installation food events, farmers markets, and aircraft food service operations, with particular emphasis on preventing intentional food contamination through risk management and force protection measures. Compliance is mandatory across all tiers identified in the instruction, with tiered waiver authorities established for various requirements.
