Dining staff are trained to change gloves at least every 30 minutes to minimize cross-contact concerns.
Access to individually packaged foods to replace bulk items that have a high likelihood of cross-contamination (i.e., packets of cream cheese, jelly, and peanut butter). D’Youville Dining wants you to feel at home in our dining spaces. During your individual meeting with dining services, please provide a wish list of items that are your favorites so that we can try and ensure the availability of individually packaged items for you.
We can provide an individual meeting with the D’Youville Dining General Manager, and Executive Chef to develop an individualized plan for navigating the residential dining facilities. After the initial meeting, the D’Youville Dining on-site Ingredient Experts (Executive Chef, Director, and Assistant Director) work together to customize a plan to accommodate the student's dietary needs. Individual menu development and specially prepared foods can be provided when the daily offerings do not meet a student’s dietary needs.
Our entire dining team is trained on Food Allergies and Celiac Disease in accordance with FARE (Food Allergy Research and Education group) standards. This helps ensure that culinarians and food service associates appropriately store and handle food, taking necessary steps to reduce the risk of cross contact. The health and safety of our guests is our highest priority at D’Youville Dining. Additionally, training continues year-round to keep it top of mind.
