omelet bar, grill, deli, as well as any specialty bars
salad bar, pasta bar, pizza, desserts, and all other self-serve areas
Self-serve areas do have precautions in place, such as assuring that each item has a separate utensil, wiping up spills, and using separate cleaning equipment for each station. Since self-serve areas are prone to cross-contact from other customers, please request food from back-up containers in the case of food allergies.
Our Simple Servings and Simple Zone stations accommodate nearly all students with food allergies. However students may also work with our Registered Dietitian and Dining Services for custom allergen-safe meals.
The Simple Servings station is free of 8 of the top 9 allergens (including gluten). Fin fish is served for additional protein variety. It is open to all students, which allows students with food allergies to have a comfortable dining experience without feeling singled out. Students are not allowed to serve themselves, or bring other foods over to Simple Servings, preventing cross-contact. All ingredients are free of 8 of the top 9 allergens (including gluten) and are prepared in a separate area of the kitchen using dedicated equipment.
Simple Zone is a pantry area free of gluten, peanuts, and tree nuts, and is reserved for students with food allergies and/or celiac disease. This area is stocked with gluten free and nut free products, including bread, muffins, bagels, cereal, oatmeal, plant-based milk, frozen meals, and popsicles.
Allertrain encompasses food allergies, celiac, food intolerances, anaphylaxis, policies, legislation, emergency management, and practical tips on communication, preventing cross-contact, cleaning, properly following recipes, and ensuring signage is accurate.
Managers all receive AllerTrain by MenuTrinfo training and front-line staff all receive Food Allergy 101 training.
