A friend did some service work at Lake City. Said he asked why ammo was being packed in cereal boxes and was told to forget about it.
My friend worked at a cheese plant and they would let him take home 5 blocks of cheese a day as long as it wasn't packaged (employees just wrapped it in wax paper). Pretty common across all types of manufacturing.
