Our allgood station is the only area that has procedures in place to lower the risk of cross-contact. There are some stations where less allergens are present. Our main dining facility, the PIT, does not serve any peanuts and/or tree nuts. We have many self-serve options in the dining hall and some that are not. When our associates serve students at MTO stations, cross-contact is drastically decreased because they keep the station clean and can take extra precautions, as requested.
We have associates at stations and on the dining hall floor to make sure that self-serve areas are kept clean.
On an as needed basis.
We have a dedicated allergen friendly station in our PIT dining hall. The station is called allgood and it serves food that is made without the top 9 allergens. There are procedures in place to decrease cross-contact in all stages of food preparation starting with procurement, preparation and serving of the food off of this station. There is a dedicated storage area with dedicated ingredients, pans, utensils, and cleaning procedures. It offers 2 vegetables, a starch and a protein off of its main line every day. Additionally, it has a salad bar and an action station that changes every day which features items such as tacos, grits bar, stir fry dishes, pasta, grain bowls and more. We also encourage students at ANY station to ask the employee to use separate knife, cutting board, gloves, etc. to decrease cross contamination.
Registered Dietitian develops the training for our associates at True Balance. Managers complete Allertrain online through their portal. Those who don’t work at True Balance get an overview about allergies in their larger welcome back orientation.
Our managers and chefs complete Allertrain online when hired. The Registered Dietitian administers Allertrain for all hourly employees once a year. Additionally, the employees who work on our allgood station go through specific training on allgood cooking and serving procedures.
Students can reach out to the Office of Residence Life and Housing at Wake Forest for accommodations and information regarding the program. We encourage students to inform their RA's about special dietary needs to make sure that they have food available for them at functions.
Contact the Disability Services and they will assist with any paperwork that is needed.
