At Spring Project L.A., your child’s safety is our absolute priority. We maintain a vigilant environment to ensure that every meal and snack is safe and nutritious.

1. Nut-Aware Environment

Our facility is a Nut-Aware Zone. To protect our students with severe life-threatening allergies, we do not serve or allow products containing peanuts or tree nuts within the program.

2. Personalized Allergy Profiles

• Mandatory Disclosure: Upon enrollment, parents must provide a detailed list of any known food allergies, sensitivities, or dietary restrictions.

• Emergency Action Plan: For children with severe allergies (requiring an EpiPen), we require a signed medical action plan from your pediatrician and a current, unexpired EpiPen to be kept on-site.

3. Cross-Contamination Prevention

Our Spring Fuel Program follows strict food-handling protocols:

• Separate preparation areas and utensils for children with specific sensitivities.

• Strict hand-washing routines before and after all meal times.

• Labeled individual meal containers to prevent any mix-ups.

4. Special Dietary Needs

While our standard menu is balanced and kid-friendly, we are happy to discuss substitutions for:

• Dairy-free requirements.

• Gluten sensitivities.

• Vegetarian/Vegan preferences.

Please note: Some highly specialized diets may require parents to supplement specific food items.
