Food & Water Risk Assessments (FWRA) are conducted when there are no or insufficient DoD approved food sources available to support short-term events and exercises outside the continual United States (OCONUS). Food, bottled water, and ice suppliers and providers are inspected using a risk based assessment for actual or potential health threats; intentional and unintentional adulteration of the product with chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear (CBRN) or physical agents; evaluating potential exposure pathways; and determining courses of action and countermeasures to control or reduce the health threats to DoD personnel. The senior commander makes the final decision to use or not use a FWRA source.
