Gluten Free (GF)

If you have celiac disease and require a gluten free diet please contact the Registered Dietitian. It is important to establish communication throughout the year to understand your specific needs and find out how things are going for you.

IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW:

All 3 dining halls have set aside a separate GF refrigerator area for storage of select GF products for your self service (GF dry cereal selections, GF Vans frozen waffles, GF bagels and bread, GF crackers and cookies, individually portioned peanut butter, cream cheese, jelly, pure maple syrup, GF Ken's salad dressings and GF barbeque sauce). GF desserts will be at all dining halls. All dining halls have separate pans at their omelette/stir fry stations where you can ask to have your item made gluten free. If you have a recommendation for a specific GF product please let a manager or the dietitian know. Other comments and suggestions are very much appreciated!

You can also complete a gluten free meal order at any dining hall. (see form at the Checker stand) or here on line!

Food Allergy and Gluten Warning

While UNH Dining does not have gluten-free nor allergen-free kitchens and main serving lines, we take every precaution to check ingredient information and to ensure that cross contamination of ingredients does not occur.

Ingredients and nutritional content may vary. Manufacturers may change their product formulation or consistency without our knowledge and product availability may fluctuate. While we make every effort to identify nutrition data and allergen information, we cannot assure against these contingencies.

It is the responsibility of the customer with food allergies or other specified nutrition concerns to make the final judgment on whether or not to question the ingredients of a food item or to choose to eat the foods selected. Guests are encouraged to consider the information provided, to their own satisfaction, in light of their individual needs and requirements. For individualized assistance please contact a manager on site who can also put you in touch with the Registered Dietitian.
