Special Diet Menus - Caterlink

it is crucial for Caterlink to receive information on pupils with allergies or intolerances as soon as possible to ensure we have the appropriate special diet menu in place.

Parents/guardians must complete in full the Caterlink Special Diet Request form and return to the school office accompanied with medical evidence from an NHS source, including dietitian, GP, Allergy Specialist or Nurse.

This can also be a screenshot of relevant evidence form the NHS app. This is in line with the guidance provided in the LACA Allergen Management Guidance, which is the governing body in terms of catering for education.

Without medical evidence, Caterlink are unable to complete the LACA Risk Analysis, which is an essential analysis that is completed before catering to any set of allergies.

Please note Caterlink do not require forms to be complete if children have:

• No allergies/intolerances
• Do not want hot school dinners (only have packed lunches)
• Follow specific diets due to religious beliefs or personal preferences - likes/dislikes.

If no special diet menu is in place , Caterlink will provide a safe meal which includes a jacket potato with baked beans or suitable toppings such as tuna mayonnaise or cheese, with vegetables and fruit for dessert, if the allergy or intolerance does not contain any of these stated foods. Or parents/guardians can provide a packed lunch from home until a special diet menu is put into place. 

Please be aware that we do not provide menus for different moderations or forms of allergens e.g.  cant have raw egg, but can have cooked, stages of the milk or egg ladder. Within our kitchens, we exclude the allergen in full as every child has different tolerance levels for their allergens. If you are reintroducing an allergen, this should be done at home, not within the school kitchens.
