Manual of Naval Preventive Medicine 1-29. Inspection of Dry Food Items. Department of the Navy 1. Dry food items, other than canned goods, include such foods as cereals, sugar, dried fruits, vegetables, flour and meal. They must be stored under controlled conditions of temperature, humidity and air circulation. 2. When inspecting dry food items, it should be remembered that USDA standards (specification management) were followed at the time of purchase. Outward appearance of the food or food containers and condition of the food itself are items to observe on inspection. For example, flour and meal bags may have been torn and the food exposed to insects or rodents. Rolled oats or other cereal containers may have been broken and the food contaminated. Dried vegetables may be damp and moldy. 3. Insects, particularly cockroaches and stored products pests, are often transported from one location to another concealed among bulk food items such as potatoes and onions or in and cartons used to hold other dry food items. Therefore, dockside inspection of these items prior to taking them onboard is essential to avoid recurring insect infestation in shipboard storage areas. Refer to Chapter 8 of this manual.
