Additionally, nutrition counseling services are available with OSU Student Health Services.
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 nutrition kiosks. Visit the touch-screen kiosk in any dining center or 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 esablished 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.
