Dining Menus and Allergen Labeling
Our online menus and those at each food station in the dining hall, include clear markings to show potential food allergens in each dish. 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.
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 the dining services manager to ensure safety.
