Special Diets provide the opportunity to enter individual diet preferences for a Resident.  Special Diets can be included in various reports such as Meal Order Forms, Drinks Lists and Tray Tags.


In addition, there are three Special Diets that affect Order Forms.  These are shown in red, and listed below:

  1. C-Coeliac  - this special diet will restrict any recipes with ingredients that contain Gluten (in wheat, oats, rye and barley) as an allergen.
  2. DF-Dairy Free - this special diet will restrict any recipes with ingredients that contain Animal milk as an allergen.
