FOOD ALLERGIES AND CELIAC DISEASE

Serving Students with Food Allergies and Celiac Disease

The dining services team is well-trained in food allergy awareness and offers several options for students with food allergies and celiac disease. This includes communication about and modification to existing menu items, special preparation of menu items, and access to special products as agreed upon with students.

We understand that our guests with special dietary needs, albeit food allergies, celiac disease, lactose intolerance, or any other medically necessary diets simply want a safe place to make food choices, quickly. Each student must determine their own level of comfort when making selections within our cafés.

Using descriptive menu naming, students and guests of our cafes can easily identify foods that contain their allergen or dietary restriction. This is a starting point and further questions can then be addressed to a chef or manager. Keeping open communication with our culinary team ensures up-to-date information on package labels, ingredient or recipe substations, and preparation methods that are at high risk for cross-contact.

MINUS NINE

Beyond descriptive menu naming, we offer an allergy-friendly station called “MinusNINE”. The MinusNINE station features entrées that celebrate fresh, simple, whole ingredients while avoiding all of the top-9 allergens + gluten. We have developed very specific and flavorful recipes built upon singular ingredients that are typically safe for food-allergic people. The MinusNINE station is a convenient choice — but not the only choice — for those with allergies to any of the top-9 allergens + gluten.

Daily menus for each café can be accessed here on our website.

Further questions about ingredients can be answered by our trained managers/chefs onsite.
