About Rebecca
Rebecca Hanks is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and the dietitian behind Citrus Pear's meal reviews. She works directly on the company's menu, checking that every recipe is balanced for protein and portion, built from quality ingredients, and can be adapted for common food allergies and intolerances.
