I can only substitute foods if there is a medical or dietary need to do so.  In order for me to substitute an item I must have a statement written and signed by a licensed physician .  The statement should specify the foods that the child cannot eat and offer substitutes for that item.

As a USDA participating Provider I am required to disclose the following:

"In accordance with Federal Law and U.S. Department of Agriculture policy, this institution is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability.
