Minimum Standards of Food Service onboard Flights

Hello all,

I am doing a research on airline food and the regulation governing them. I have been unable to find any organisation (ICAO) or other wise that lays down international standards of food and beverage service as well as guidelines air lies have to follow. In specific I am looking at guidelines to see the following

1) Is there a guideline on meal service based on flight time
2) Is there a guide line for food service type based on flight timing
3) What are the nutritional guidelines on the food that has to be served (basis of quantity calculations and calories etc.)
4) Any specific regulations on reheating and time from production to service.
5) Are there any specific bans on food items that cannot be served on board.

Would much appreciate if someone could either point me in the direction of where I can find this data and/or give me some more information on the above. If this is not the appropriate forum please do transfer it to a more appropriate one.

Thank you
