Statement on Food Allergies from Mount Saint Mary's University: 

We take food allergies seriously. Our menu items are prepared from scratch in our kitchens each day using the freshest, highest quality selections available seasonally and regionally. As a result, we do not operate from corporate recipes and ingredients and products change frequently in our kitchens.  If you have food allergy concerns, our well-trained chefs and/or registered dietitians will be glad to assist you with menu options to meet your your dietary needs.  Our chefs are the best resource for real time information about products and ingredients used in a specific dish that day. In many cases, we can make modifications as necessary.

While our culinary teams receive significant training about food allergens, please keep in mind that our dishes are prepared in open kitchens and the top eight most common allergens are present in all Bon Appétit cafés.

1. We provide access to ingredient information for made-to-order* items. *Made-to-order - Meals that are prepared on request and to your specification in the dining hall. Examples include a sandwich station, omelet station, burrito station, etc.
