Dietary areas shall comply with which of the following?

Federal health codes
International food safety standards
Local health or food handling codes
National industrial codes

The correct answer is: Local health or food handling codes

Dietary areas in a nursing home are required to comply with local health or food handling codes. Local health codes govern the safe handling of food, storage, preparation, and overall cleanliness of the food service area. These regulations ensure that the dietary areas maintain proper hygiene standards to safeguard the health and well-being of the residents. While federal health codes and international food safety standards are important, the primary regulatory authority for dietary areas in nursing homes lies with local health or food handling codes. National industrial codes are typically not directly applicable to the specific requirements of healthcare food service settings.
