Today we discussed food allergies versus food preferences or food sensitivities.
If it is documented that a child has a food "allergy" then the child's record must contain an allergy plan, completed and signed by the child's physician. If a food is NOT an allergen, then please discuss and have the parent change and initial the paperwork and indicate that they merely prefer the child not eat the specified food or that the child has a sensitivity to a specified food and it is preferred that they do not eat that food. This is an important distinction and should be handled accordingly.
In addition, please be sure that the violation notice from your most recent licensing inspection is posted in a location visible to the public and easily reviewed. If there are several pages to the report, the pages should be loose to allow the pages to be turned without having to remove them from the sleeve or the board. The violation notice must be the top page of the posted inspection. In addition, as a reminder, the Supplemental page of the inspection report should never be posted because it may contain personal identifying or other confidential information.
