What is DG-7 concerned with?

DG-7 focuses on modified diets, which refers to dietary plans that are specially tailored to meet the needs of individuals with specific health conditions or dietary restrictions. These diets can include alterations in texture, nutrient content, or food types to accommodate medical requirements such as diabetes, allergies, or digestive issues.

Understanding modified diets is essential in a detention setting to ensure that individuals receive appropriate nutrition based on their health status and dietary needs. This is vital for maintaining their overall well-being and managing any chronic health conditions within the population. While kitchen sanitation, food waste management, and nutrition education are certainly important components of food service and health management, they do not specifically address the need for individualized dietary modifications.
