Narrative

Describe in detail what happened including the concern or potential issue, the environment (weather, terrain, fire behavior, etc), and the resulting health issue.

Cattlemens catering company has been serving below sub par food. Out of the 6 meals myself and crewmembers have eaten all of them have had some type of undercooked or stale (possibly expired) food. Ie; undercooked bacon, raw sausage and soggy lettuce that looked like it had sat out for a day. Unacceptable food for people who work hard and expect a decent meal when the resources and time and place allow. I understand that good food is not always available, however, for a company that is getting paid to provide a service this is not okay. An army marches on it's stomach and right now it's stomach is not being properly provided for.

Immediate Action Taken

Reporting Individual : please describe actions you took to correct or mitigate the unsafe/unhealthful event.

Myself and multiple crew members have begun to provide our own food on our own dime.
