Food Allergy/Intolerance Disclaimer: 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.

Vegan and Vegetarian Options

We recognize that many of our students and other guest choose to eat foods that are vegan or vegetarian for a variety of health, ethical, faith-based, and other reasons. As such we have developed a list of vegan and vegetarian items that can be found in each of our dining locations.

Gluten-free Options

We understand that if you prefer or require gluten-free food items, you may need some additional assistance in seeking those options out. As such, we have developed a list of gluten-free entrée options that can be found in each of our dining locations.

Halal Menu Options

If you practice a halal diet, you may need some additional assistance in seeking those options out. As such, we have developed a list of halal entrée options that can be found in each of our dining locations.

Food Allergies

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.
