We run annual food allergy training for all employees which includes ways to minimize cross-contact. We also run on-the-spot allergy training for each area so that employees in respective areas are familiar with measures to minimize cross-contact. Employees are monitored for compliance with cross-contact procedures.
If a student mentions an allergy or intolerance, for example gluten, our policy is to use a clean pan/utensil for that student when preparing their meal. Also, we sanitize that meal prep area, pull ingredients from back up storage, wash hands and change gloves prior to food preparation. The employee is to hand the item directly to the student.
Yes, we do have policies to limit cross-contact at self-serve areas. Separate tongs and utensils are also used for all self-service items. Students can request separate ingredients from our backup self-service items supply if they need a gluten-free sandwich or an egg-free salad, for example. If you have a food allergy, please speak to the Dining Manager, Registered Dietitian, or Executive Chef and ask for items from the backup self-service items supply.
Specifying an allergy or dietary need on their order alerts our staff to take our cross-contact precautions (separate cooking pans, utensils, back up supply ingredients, sanitation & cleaning procedures, and new gloves). Trevecca Disability Services and dining work closely to determine medical accommodations, a pre-order of resident dining meals in Apple Dining Hall would be arranged between the student, the chef, and the dietitian on a case-by-case basis.
Our Simple Servings station can safely serve students with the following allergies: gluten, wheat, soy, egg, milk, peanut, sesame, tree nut, and shellfish.
Trevecca Dining Services by Sodexo locations are not considered free from any food allergen or gluten. While we take care to minimize cross-contact, from receiving to service, between allergen containing and allergen not-containing foods, we cannot totally eliminate exposure to food allergens and gluten
We are pleased to offer Sodexo's award-winning Simple Servings station, an allergen and gluten friendly program, in Apple Dining Hall. It is a self-contained front-of-house station whereby all food is prepared and served in front of the customer. The Simple Servings station is a separate and distinct area, with no cross-traffic in the station, further reducing cross-contact with allergens. Simple Servings staff are required to take and pass the AllerTrainU food allergy course offered by MenuTrinfo.
Dedicated purple utensils, pots and pans, cutting boards, knives, etc., are used to indicate allergen friendly. All Simple Servings menu items are prepared and stored in dedicated equipment and prep spaces. Note: separate equipment, storage areas, utensils and preparation areas minimize, but do not totally eliminate, the chances of gluten and allergens in our Simple Servings foods.
