What does Bridget do at PantryTec?
Bridget is the registered dietitian behind PantryTec’s menu review. She reviews PantryTec cycle menus and signs the RD Approval Letter included with every PantryTec plan.
Administrators and dietary managers file that letter in their compliance binder so a state surveyor can see that a registered dietitian reviewed the menus the kitchen serves. See how the letter fits into survey preparation in our senior care menu compliance guide, and how menus reach your kitchen each week in how PantryTec works.

States that don’t require a state dietitian license. These states don’t require a state dietitian license, so Bridget’s national RD credential from CDR covers her menu review and RD Approval Letters there:
- Arizona
- California
- Colorado
- Michigan
- New Jersey
- Virginia
What about California? California does not issue a state dietitian license. It protects the title instead: under Business and Professions Code section 2585, only people who meet the state’s degree, supervised practice, examination and continuing education requirements may call themselves a registered dietitian, RD or RDN. Bridget holds the national RD credential from CDR.
