Food has been an ongoing issue for the men in detention, with some
complaining it is “inedible”.
They allege when visitors arrive at the centre – department officials,
ministers, human rights groups – the food temporarily improves, before
reverting.
Men in detention also regularly post photos of out-of-date food they say
they’ve been served, or question its provenance.
One man posted a photo of his meal on 6 October: “Today’s lunch. If someone
finds out what kind of animal’s meat it is please let me know.”
In August, the ABC revealed
the Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection ordered centre
manager Transfield not to distribute $30,000 worth of muesli bars inside the
detention centre because they were branded with the logo of the company that
made them: Freedom Foods.
Guardian Australia has approached Transfield for comment.
