Additional information

We do not guarantee the accuracy of nutrition information.  Ingredient and nutrition content of foods may vary due to changes in product formulation, recipe substitutions, portion size and other factors. 

However, there is always a risk of contamination and the possibility that the manufacturer of the commercial foods we use could change the formulation at any time and without notice.  Customers with concerns about food allergies need to be aware of this risk. Dining Services also operates its own bakery which is not “nut free” and therefore cannot guarantee that there will not be cross-contamination.  Any customer concerned about food ingredients should be aware of these risks and proactive about their food choices.  It is ultimately the responsibility of the customer to decide whether to eat certain foods.
