Menu
We offer a variety of entrees, soups, and bread and snack products. All our meals are low-sodium, and we do not cook with any added preservatives, artificial flavorings, or fillers. In any given week, each client receives a variety of items that fit their needs and preferences and are optimized for the right caloric, nutrient, and protein content. Because different health concerns require different dietary modifications, our team of Registered Dietitian Nutritionists works with all clients to determine their specific nutritional needs and select the assortment that works for them.
For example, a client with end-stage renal disease will receive meals that are lower in phosphorus than what other clients may receive; a client who has restrictions on acid foods will receive milder entrees (such as Winter Beef Stew rather than Beef Bolognese); and a client who is allergic to fish will receive high-quality chicken entrees, such as Coconut Chicken, in place of fish items. Other examples of medically tailored modifications include low-sugar, lowfat, renal (low sodium, phosphorus, potassium and fluid), no dairy or acid-bland.
Please note that at this time we are unable to accommodate soy allergies, or gluten-free, Kosher, or Halal diets. Check out our food safety guidelines here. If you have any questions regarding our menu, please contact the Nutrition Department at 212.294.8103 or at nutrition@glwd.org.
