mechanical failure.Cooler quit, food spoiled?Freezer quit, food thawed?Damaged or poor quality from the vendor?
How to report losses:
List what was thrown away. Include the item number, the item description, and the quantity. Make sure to note the unit of measure.
Give the list to your school specialist or if within a couple of days of inventory, call Gretta for instructions.
