Improving military nutrition: only the highest quality

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine made a decision to make changes to the Food Catalog of the Armed Forces aimed at improving the quality of food for servicemen.

This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

The innovations were developed jointly with the "State Rear Operator" (DOT), which announced the purchase of products for the Armed Forces for the second half of the year in accordance with the updated list.

According to representatives of the Ministry of Defense, these changes will contribute to improving the quality of food for servicemen. Now the catalog includes various types of spices, cereals, fish and canned food. Also, canned fruits were partially replaced by fresh ones.

Some product categories have additional requirements:

flour, pasta, canned fish and sausages should only be of the highest quality;
fish will be delivered headless to optimize cost;
the list of fat percentages of fermented milk products has been expanded.
At the same time, some products (for example, sago groats, sturgeon or asparagus) were excluded from the Catalog due to rare popularity and limited possibilities of ordering other items.

"Our military is a key factor in national defense. Maintaining a balanced diet guarantees their combat readiness in any conditions. The changes in the Catalog once again prove our goal - to provide the Armed Forces with high-quality products," - emphasized the Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Dmytro Klimenkov.
