On page 7 of the USDA food and nutrition service guidelines it states that “Under no circumstances are school food service staff to revise or change a diet prescription or medical order.” To stop a meal modification order form 19-C must be completed.

The medical statement to Request School Meal Modification form 19-B applies to food served by school food service. It does not regulate food that is not provided by school food service and brought into the classroom.

Parents should communicate preferences for foods/snacks in the classroom directly to the teacher.
