Allergies & Special Diets

UDS makes every attempt to identify ingredients that may cause allergic reactions for those with food allergies and to instruct our food production staff on the severity of food allergies. In addition, we label items with possible allergen-containing ingredients. However, there is always a risk of contamination. Customers concerned with food allergies need to be aware of this risk.

Dining Services also operates its own bakery. Our bakery is not a “nut free” bakery. We cannot guarantee the absence of cross contamination with our baked goods.

In a typical student population, there are between 5-10% of members that have some type of allergy or food sensitivity. Because UDS is serving a large student group, we are asking your assistance in creating a safe food service environment.

Please follow these simple rules when you are dining with us to help maintain our dedication to safe and healthy eating:

  • Only use the provided utensils for specific food items. Do not cross-use utensils between dishes.
  • Please do not move any menu labels from their original placement.
  • Students with food allergies are reminded to use caution in the community setting of a dining hall.
  • If you have any questions, do not hesitate to approach a manager or student supervisor.

Plan ahead: Before you arrive, you should contact the Executive Chef at [715] 346-4878 or via email so you can discuss any specific needs or concerns. Once you arrive, please introduce yourself to the managers and staff so we may work with you. We continually work to provide as much information as possible to enable you to make informed dining choices.
