Guest guest Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Also, some states have specific requirements that would in many instances supercede the Feds. GA has state " interpretations. " The attached Menu Form for Nutritional Adequacy was developed based on the old FGP and the GA Interpretations. But, be sure to check around your state for any state regulations and interpretations. The bottom line is that your menus need to meet those requirements and Nutritional Adequacy for the age group of residents in your facility (RDIs for Geriatrics). Hope this helps.
