If I am in direct sales with a large team that I provide meals to during "company parties", can that be 100% deducted?

Yes, you and deduct 100% of the cost of the meals at at company party.

Per IRS Publication 15b and IRS Publication 535, food or beverage expenses related to employee recreation, such as holiday parties or annual picnics, aren't subject to the 50% limit on deductions when made primarily for the benefit of your employees other than employees who are officers, shareholders or other owners who own a 10% or greater interest in your business, or other highly compensated employees.
