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.
2. We provide access to ingredient information for self-serve* items. *Self-serve - Meals that are served buffet-style in a dining hall. These are typically high risk for cross-contact and are best avoided by diners with food allergies.
NYU Eats provides separate service utensils for each item and frequently changes utensils in an attempt to mitigate customer cross-contact. Upon request, dining staff will change gloves, or use fresh utensils or pans (at made-to-order or self-serve stations) to reduce cross-contact concerns. We also work to educate employees involved in the production process to change gloves and clean utensils between recipes to reduce cross-contact concerns.
Students with food allergies/celiac disease are encouraged to see an Allergen Champion prior to ordering at made-to-order stations. Students may need their meal to be made in a separate area of preparation.
3. We have procedures in place to lower the risk of cross-contact in made-to-order areas.
Students with food allergies or celiac disease should not eat from self-serve stations, such as a salad bar. On staff Allergen Champions can assemble the meal using fresh product from the kitchen.
