Cross-contact procedures are in place for each station and throughout the dining hall. All dining services staff who work at made-order stations are trained upon hiring and are monitored for compliance with cross-contact procedures. For stations that offer items made without requested allergen(s), for example gluten, employees are trained to wash hands, change gloves, use clean utensils and prep surface, pull ingredients from back up storage, prep the item in a safe environment, and hand the item directly to the student.
Note: Our dining facilities are not considered free from any food allergen or gluten. While we take care to minimize cross-contact, from receiving to service, between allergen-free and allergen-containing foods, we cannot totally eliminate exposure to food allergens and gluten.
All dining services staff are trained to monitor self-service areas for cleanliness and will clean up spills as quickly as possible. Separate tongs and utensils are also used for all self-service items. If you have a food allergy, please speak to the Dining Manager or Executive Chef and ask for items from the backup self-service items supply.
Students with food restrictions that qualify as a medical necessity (as approved by the Office of Accessibility Services) have the ability to pre-order meals and will work directly with our Executive Chef and Registered Dietitian to set up an accommodation for customized meals.

Our Simple Servings station can safely serve students with the following allergies: gluten, wheat, soy, egg, milk, peanut, tree nut and shellfish.
Simple Servings is our resident dining option, providing safe and appetizing food choices for our customers with food allergies and/or gluten intolerance. The Simple Servings station does not offer foods made with the FDA most-common allergens of peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, wheat, soy, milk, and eggs. All foods offered will be made without gluten-containing ingredients. Simple Servings staff members are carefully trained to avoid cross-contact of their menu items. Purple utensils, pots and pans, cutting boards, knives, etc., are used to indicate allergen-free. All Simple Servings menu items are prepared and stored in with dedicated equipment and prep spaces.
Note: Separate equipment, storage areas, utensils and preparation areas minimize, but do not totally eliminate, the chances of gluten and allergens in our Simple Servings foods.
