Dining Menus and Allergen Labeling
Our menus provide “contains” statements specifically highlighting the Major Nine allergens defined by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (milk, eggs, shellfish, fish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, sesame) and gluten. You may check for the presence of allergen-containing ingredients prior to planning meals using the online menu tool. The information is also posted on menu item identifiers at the food stations in the dining hall.
Menu items are prepared using standardized recipes and food preparation procedures; however, there may be a risk of cross-contact on shared surfaces and equipment. Please communicate your food allergy concerns and dietary needs to our, Executive Chef, Sandra Bedoya, to ensure safety.
