Correctional facilities
Clinical nutrition assessments for incarcerated individuals and kitchen inspections for jails and prisons.
A correctional facility dietitian works at the intersection of health care and food service: clinical nutrition assessments and therapeutic diet orders for incarcerated individuals with medical conditions, and inspections of a kitchen that feeds hundreds of people a day on a fixed budget. Nutrition Ink provides both, with registered dietitians experienced in jail and prison settings.

Correctional food service in California is held to Title 15 standards for meals and to the California Retail Food Code for the kitchen, and medical diets are part of the facility's health care obligations. Our RDNs assess and document to those standards.
