Medical Diets
As your child’s school caterer, Taylor Shaw aims to ensure that children with allergies and intolerances are supported and receive a tasty, nutritious, and safe meal. Our dietitians and catering teams work together and follow a robust process, so you can feel reassured that an alternative menu will be provided for your child whenever safely possible.
