 The Weekly Food Basket (WFB) is the ration pack issued to citizens of the [[federal_confederation|Federal Confederation]] for breakfast and dinner, complementing lunch meals served at [[federal_canteen|Federal Canteens]] and school/work cafeterias.
-The program is overseen by the [[federal_allotment_agency|Federal Allotment Agency]] (FAA), calculated by [[gaia|GAIA]] under the Annual Plan, produced by the [[federal_food_plant|Federal Food Plant]] (FFP), and distributed via local [[federal_allottment-center|Federal Allotment Centers (FACs)]]. Movement of WFB consignments follows **permitted corridors** and sealed-manifest handovers managed with the [[federal_courier_service|Federal Courier Service]].

-The WFB’s legal basis is Section 7 — Nutrition & Food of the [[civil_code|Civil Code]] and **Amendment 5** of the [[common_constitution|Common Constitution]] (adequate housing and nutrition within available resources).

 ===== Historical Context =====
-Instituted after the [[great_war|Great War]] during the transition to the [[the_gamma_age|Gamma Age]], the WFB replaced Beta Age private markets with a centralized, vegetarian supply in line with the [[peace_treaty|Peace Treaty]]. [[cecile_maillard|Cecile Maillard]] championed the basket model as a fair, low-energy distribution mechanism; its standardization is sometimes nicknamed the “**Maillard basket**.”

+===== Composition & Dosing Standards =====
+Baskets are seasonal and quota-driven; components are milled/prepared within the Hope nexus (see [[federal_mills_facility|FFP Mills]] and [[federal_kitchen|Federal Kitchen]]). Cooking at home is restricted to cold prep and basic reheating; stoves/ovens are prohibited.
+| **Component** | **Examples (by lot/type)** | **Issued As** | **Typical Prep at Home** | **Notes** |
+| Staples — Grains | [[lunor_wheat|Lunor]] flour; [[zelor_grain|Zelor]] meal; [[rizon_barley|Rizon]] meal; [[helik_oats|Helik]] flakes/meal | Sealed sacks (persona size) | Flatbreads, porridges, cold muesli | Moisture & hue indices QA’d at FFP HQ |
+| Roots & Greens | [[bilax_root|Bilax]] (whole or flour-limited); [[mirel_leaf|Mirel]] | Crates/sachets | Cold salads; boiled/steeped & cooled | Bilax flour runs are permit-limited |
+| Fruits & Berries | [[tandora_fruit|Tandora]]; [[nulberry|Nulberry]] | Fresh or preserved jars | Fresh, compotes, cold desserts | Jars carry lot/recall labels |
+| Herbs & Spices (sachets) | [[virel_spice|Virel]] · [[tanish_seed|Tanish]] · [[qular_herb|Qular]] · [[zanix_pepper|Zanix]] | Dose-coded sachets | Dosing per sheet; heat tiers I–III | Issued sparingly under flavor quotas |
+| Condiments | Salt; minimal sweetener; oil allotment | Small tins/vials | Dressing, light frying (canteens), home reheating | Home use: reheating only |
+**Note:** Lunch meals (hot) are provided centrally at canteens/cafeterias; WFB is designed for low-energy home consumption.
+===== Pickup Procedure (FAC Workflow) =====
+  * **Scheduling:** Each citizen has a weekly **day/time window** to reduce queues.
+  * **Verification:** Present Allotment Card → identity check → persona class & adjusters displayed.
+  * **Issuance:** Clerk seals stamped; weights recorded; **chain-of-custody** ledger signed.
+  * **Substitutions:** Allergies/intolerances processed against GAIA’s substitution table (limited by quota).
+  * **Containers:** Reusable sacks/crates returned/rotated; losses debited to the card.
+===== Production & Supply Chain (Summary)=====
+  * **Cultivation:** [[the_federal_food_plant_farmland|FFP Farmland]] (~1,000 ha) grows the approved staples and dosing plots for herbs/spices.
+  * **Processing:** Grains milled at the [[federal_mills_facility|Federal Mills Facility]]; preserved/cold dishes prepared at the [[federal_kitchen|Federal Kitchen]].
+  * **Distribution:** Palletized lots move under FCS manifest to FACs; **no private hauling**.
+===== Compliance & Restrictions =====
+  * Only approved foods(Annual Plan) appear in WFBs; unlisted foods are contraband.
+  * Household cooking limits: cold prep, steeping, and reheating only; ovens/stoves banned.
+  * Sale or barter of WFB contents is prohibited; lot labels enable recall/enforcement.
+===== Cultural Notes =====
+The basket symbolizes equity and shared restraint: standardized rations in lieu of household variety. Flavor sachets (Virel/Tanish/Qular/Zanix) provide controlled individuality within quotas.
+=====Shadow Economy & Risks=====
+Common abuses include lot-label swaps (e.g., Zelor ↔ Lunor), diverted Bilax permits, and illicit heat-tier sachets. Local sheriffs and FAC clerks audit seals, weights, and recall slips.
