Our Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Lin Roberts, MS, RDN, LDN, recently joined the Sodexo Universities dining team to work with students in navigating the campus dining environment andto assist in meeting food preferences, nutritional needs and individual wellness goals.

Menu Allergens

Our menu system provides ingredient statements specifically highlighting the big nine allergens: milk, eggs, shellfish, fish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy & sesame and gluten. Guests may check on the presence of allergens prior to planning their meals using the online menu, Everyday App, and nutrition calculator. The absence of an allergen listed on posted or electronic product signage is not a guarantee that the product is free of that allergen. The guest is responsible for communicating their allergy to a supervisor or manager to ensure safety.

Food Allergies

Talk to us about your food allergies and dietary needs! Wetake pride in sourcing wholesome ingredients, preparing recipes accurately and providing nutritional analysis and ingredient statements through our online menus and nutrition calculator. We are all passionate about serving students. From General Manager to Front Line Servers, we work diligently to address students’ specific needs, especially those with food allergies, celiac disease, or other special diet needs.

A team approach led by you, our educated consumer, is the best preparation for a safe school year free of allergic reactions. We want to meet one-on-one with all of our customers who have individual dining needs to ensure that your dining experience is safe, delicious, and social. If you have a food allergy/special diet concern, please call or send us a note using the feedback form.

Have an issue with gluten, milk, tree-nuts or peanuts? Check out Simply3!

Our new Simply3 station, previously My Zone, helps to ensure your food is safely prepared to minimize cross-contact with gluten, nuts (tree nuts, peanuts) and milk. In addition to a balanced meal at lunch and dinner, we carry an assortment of gluten, peanut & tree-nut free cereals, desserts and breads.

The menu items at Simply3 are prepared using recipes and ingredients that do not contain gluten, peanuts, tree nuts or milk. We take care to minimize cross-contact in our storage, prep and service of these menu items. However, they are prepared in a facility that also prepares recipes with allergens such as soy, egg, fish, milk, shellfish, wheat, tree nuts, peanuts, and gluten. Additionally, we cannot control exposure to allergens or gluten by food manufacturers or our suppliers.
