Technical Assistance:
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.
