All foods on our menu are labeled with commonly-requested special dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free friendly, and halal). Additionally, we label for common allergens in our online menus and in-person at our dining centers. Browse our online menus and filter for allergens or dietary preferences.
University Housing & Dining Services labels the meals we serve for eight common food allergens.
To help students with food allergies and special dietary considerations, the University has established guidelines to help students with the resources they need to navigate on campus.
UHDS is committed to identifying ingredients that may cause reactions for those with food allergies and intolerances and trains employees on safe handling procedures to minimize risk; however, because foods are prepared in a commercial kitchen, there is always some risk of cross contact of allergens and gluten.
Consumers should also be aware of the risk that manufacturers of the commercial foods OSU uses may change the formulation of ingredients or substitute other ingredients at any time, without notice.
All UHDS dining centers serve Make Cents meals designed to help you budget your money as well as provide your body with healthy, great-tasting food. All Make Cents plates are based off of healthy grains, and include a fruit or vegetable and a protein. For 2021-22, all Make Cents meals are priced at $4.95 or less. Residents using their meal plan receive an additional 20 percent discount.

To meet the religious dietary needs of those practicing a halal diet, UHDS labels halal friendly foods with this halal icon. In collaboration with the Muslim Student Association and the Ettihad Cultural Community, UHDS established these guidelines for halal labeling:
