FOOD ALLERGIES
Serving Students with Food Allergies and Celiac Disease
The dining services team is well-trained in food allergy awareness and offer a number of options for students with food allergies and celiac disease. This includes communication about and modification to existing menu items, special preparation of menu items, and access to special products as agreed upon with students.
Daily menus for each café can be accessed at usf.cafebonappetit.com. Menu items that are appropriate options for most students with celiac disease are labeled as “made without gluten-containing ingredients” and can be filtered to streamline searching using the dietary preferences filter. Top-9 allergens are included in menu names and/or descriptions whenever possible. For more on eating with a food allergy in our café, visit this page and view the guide on food allergies and celiac disease at University of San Francisco. Further questions about ingredients can be answered by our trained managers/chefs on-site.
The Market Café offers a variety of packaged products made without gluten-containing ingredients. Avoiding Gluten pantry items include ingredients that are naturally without gluten-containing ingredients or alternatives to traditional gluten-containing options. In addition, a dedicated toaster is available for items that are made without gluten-containing ingredients.
