If a child just needs fluid milk substitution, the parent/guardian can request for fluid milk substitution due to a medical or other special dietary need. The PARENTAL REQUEST FOR A FLUID MILK SUBSTITUTION FOR CHILDREN IN CHILD CARE CACFP 49 (REV. 2/2016) form must be filled out stating the medical or other special dietary need requiring a fluid milk substitution, preferred milk substitute, signed and dated by the parent/guardian. Paramount Unified School District – Student Nutrition Services has the discretion to select a specific brand of milk substitute since acceptable products must meet specified nutrient requirements. Juice cannot be offered as a fluid milk substitute for children with medical or special dietary needs that do not rise to the level of a disability.

An individual who does not have a disability but is unable to consume a particular food because of a non-disability reason, such as religious or moral reasons, is considered to have a food preference. All meals served to students with a food preference must meet USDA meal pattern requirements in order to qualify for reimbursement. These accommodations will be considered on a case-by-case basis and a FOOD PREFERENCE form must be filled out and signed by the parent/guardian of the child.
