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 boards in the dining center.
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 general manager, Keith Waterfield, or registered dietitian, Olivia Batryn, to ensure safety.

Plant-Forward Dining
Dining Services provides a variety of vegetarian, plant-based, and vegan options on campus. Look for these icons on our menus.
Vegan: Dishes that do not contain any ingredients that come from animals.
Vegetarian: Dishes that do not contain meat or fish but may, or may not, contain dairy, eggs, and/or honey.
Plant-based: Meals only use ingredients from plants such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts. They may also include honey and sugar.
Plant-forward dining options are available at multiple food platforms in Marsh Dining Hall and North Campus Café.
Made Without
Our Simple Zone in Marsh Dining Hall is a pantry-style area, providing items such as breads, cereals, baked goods, and condiments made without gluten, dairy, peanuts and tree nuts (FDA listed allergens) to help students access convenient, safe foods to supplement their dietary restricted meals. Each item has been reviewed through our product verification system to ensure it is made without gluten, dairy, peanuts, and tree nuts and is produced on separate equipment, though possibly manufactured in a facility that also processes gluten, dairy, peanuts, and tree nuts.
Simple Zone is a self-serve area open during all meal periods and has a separate microwave and toaster. Our Simple Zone is designed to allow an easy way to supplement meals while avoiding gluten, dairy, and nuts. We encourage those with special dietary needs to connect with our General Manager, Keith Waterfield, or Registered Dietitian, Olivia Batryn, to gain access to this area.
