If your school received ANY money from the federal government, then it has to comply with the United States Department of Agriculture Guidelines (USDA). The Guidelines require, that if your child cannot eat what is being served, then the school needs to make a substitution. BUT, you need to fill out a form.
The website below gets you to the guidelines and the form.
Go to page 41 on the Guidelines. Download Figure 1. This form is essentially a dietary order that your doctor will fill out. Then give it to the school and your child will receive a substitute food.
If you have ANY questions, then call the Illinois State Board of Education, Division of Nutrition Programs & Support Services.
The people are very helpful. The number is: 217-782-2491.
