Procurement

Procurement Classifications

The procurement field indicates how the food was obtained and potentially where it was consumed. This classification helps distinguish between on-premise consumption and off-site scenarios, which can be crucial for incident analysis and investigation.

Value	Description	Examples
onsite_or_na	Food consumed at the establishment or procurement method not specified	• Restaurant dining room meals • Cafeteria dining • Food court consumption • Buffet dining • In-store consumption
takeaway	Food ordered and taken to consume elsewhere	• To-go orders • Carry-out meals • Pickup orders • Packaged for travel • Self-transport orders
drive_through	Orders placed and received via drive-through window	• Fast-food drive-through • Drive-through pharmacy • Coffee shop drive-through • Drive-up window service • Car-side delivery
Delivery	Food delivered to customer's specified location	• App-based delivery • Restaurant delivery service • Third-party delivery • Home delivery • Office delivery
meal_kit	Pre-portioned ingredients for home preparation	• Subscription meal boxes • Recipe kit services • DIY meal packages • Prepared ingredient boxes • Cook-at-home kits

• This field helps establish the chain of custody between preparation and consumption

• Off-site consumption (takeaway, delivery, meal_kit) may involve additional time between preparation and consumption

• Drive-through is tracked separately from takeaway due to different handling procedures

• Values are case-sensitive and include underscores where shown

• This field may be particularly relevant for time-sensitive investigations
