If a student discloses to us that they have an allergy- our staff changes their gloves, washes their hands and prepares the special order on a clean service using clean utensils and plates and hands it to the student.
Although we don't have signs to let students know we do it, we do get requests for items from back up containers and gladly get it for them.
We don't have "pre-order" meals necessarily, but we do have procedures in place that if we can not meet the needs of a student with food allergies in our regular dining program. We will make accommodations and sometimes that is setting them up on a meal cycle (made without their allergens) and having them come to pick up their meals on a daily basis.
At our allergen station we use designated prep areas, equipment, utensils, and vetted recipes to prepare meals. Additionally, all associated receive additional training before working our allergen station. The station consists of three menu concepts and a made-to-order station for 3 meals, 7 days a week.
