dietary needs

Nutritional intake specifications

Dietary needs are the nutritional requirements a person has, whether for health, religion, ethics, or personal preference.

The phrase appears most often in contexts of accommodation—event planning, hospital care, school cafeterias: Please let us know of any dietary needs in advance.

Common dietary needs include allergies, vegetarianism, kosher or halal requirements, and medical restrictions like low-sodium or diabetic diets.
