The QA Veterinarian Section is
staffed by two military personnel experts in their field (one
officer and one enlisted from the Army and the Air Force,
respectively). QA-VET personnel oversee matters of public
health/consumer protection related to food safety and quality,
over-the-counter (OTC) nonprescription drugs, and health and
beauty care (HBC's) products. They maintain close relations with
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA), and other federal, state and military
agencies to ensure consumer protection, food quality and product
safety. They coordinate daily with the U.S. Army Veterinary
Services, U.S. Army Preventive Medicine and the U.S. Air Force
Public Health personnel on inspection of commercial food
manufacturing facilities as well as the inspection of our 1400
AAFES retail food operations. We thank all Army and Air Force
medical personnel for their continuing support of the Army and Air
Force Exchange Service. Feel free to contact us if you have
questions, comments, or suggestions. (DSN 967-3604/3736 or
