The Halal certified items (CF01-CF12) include 12 meal options ranging from cheese omelets to spaghetti and meatballs, with order quantities between 180 and 420 each. The Kosher certified items (CF13-CF35) comprise 23 line items including meat meals, dairy meals, parve items, and individual packaged products such as tuna, cereal, pastries, peanut butter, condiments, and sugar substitutes, with quantities ranging from 180 to 300,000 units depending on item type. All items must comply with strict religious dietary specifications with no substitutions permitted; the NFSA/Chief Dietitian makes final compliance determinations.
