Allergen Info
Look for our Worry-Free Fare at the gluten free station in Fountain, Case, and Clark dining halls.
University Dining is now offering vanilla and chocolate soy milk, gluten free breads and bagels and gluten free cereal. Students with celiac will have access to a toaster dedicated to gluten free bread only.
To find more gluten-free options in the dining hall, check the nutrition and allergy chart or check the i-pad and allergen board located in each dining hall.
Gluten-Free: Check out our Worry Free Fare! We have gluten-free bread and cereal for your convenience. You can put our gluten free burgers on the bread provided, just bring a slice to the grill. Also, check out our gluten-free soup!
Peanut and Other Nut Allergies: Please check the iPad before eating at the dining hall. We do have items that contain nuts, so be wary of your choices. You need to be very careful with the desserts. They are produced in a kitchen that uses nuts and peanuts.
Dairy Allergy: We offer soy milk in the worry free station. Check the iPad for menu choices without dairy.
Vegetarians: We offer several vegetarian options on our menu. If there is no menu item to your liking, load up a salad or sandwich with hummus and veggies for a healthy and satisfying meal! Try our freshly ground peanut butter and add a banana or apple for a healthy sandwich. Check out our whole wheat grilled cheese offered every day. We always offer a vegetarian burger or veggie nugget, too!
Vegans: Yes, there are options for you! We have menu items labeled with our “Vegan” caption on our website. We offer vegan items ranging from Mushroom Stroganoff to Five Bean Bake. We occasionally offer a Vegan soup choice, just check the menu!
