Handling Food Allergies
LSU Dining aims to provide our students and guests with the
support they deserve by accommodating those with food
allergies and intolerances and providing a safe place to eat.
From following standardized recipes to avoiding cross
contact in all facets of production and service, we do our best
to provide safe and balanced options for those with dietary
food allergies and intolerances.
Be aware that we handle and prepare egg, milk, wheat,
shellfish, fish, soy, peanut, sesame, tree nut and other
potential allergens in the food production areas in all of our
facilities. We work to provide nutritional and ingredient
information that is as complete and up-to-date as possible.
To view, please visit LSUdining.com . Products may change
without our knowledge and menu items are prepared in
close proximity to other ingredients that may result in cross
contact with ingredients not listed, including allergens.
Guests with food allergies or specific dietary concerns should
speak with the onsite Registered Dietitian, chef, or manager
for individualized assistance.
Avoiding Cross Contact
Every year our staff is trained on proper food handling procedures to minimize the risk of cross
contact. Associates are also trained on allergies, including the top 9 most common food allergies:
milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame. Our Registered
Dietitian, Catherine Bowie, can answer any questions students or associates may have.

Focused on quality of service, this approach provides sufficient training for teams to confidently navigate student inquiries, provide options to accommodate student needs, and assure safety. Guests are strongly encouraged to alert staff to their food allergies or specific dining needs. Ingredient Experts LSU Dining cares about menu transparency. All Chefs, managers, supervisors, and some additional associates have undergone extensive training in handling food allergies and celiac disease. These associates are your go-to folks if you have questions about served items in any location. They are dedicated to working with our guests who require more information when making dining choices. Ingredient experts can discuss ingredients, recipes, and meal preparation methods in order for our food-allergic guests to dine safely and comfortably. Always ask for the chef or manager to answer any questions you have regaurding food allergies. Pure Eats (Allergy Friendly Stations) Available at the 5-Dining Hall, Pure Eats is the station dedicated to those with specific dietary needs. The top 8 food allergens (wheat, tree nuts, peanuts, milk, egg, soy, fish, and shellfish) and gluten are removed from the daily menu. All food items are prepped, cooked, and served within the station. To reduce the risk of cross-contact, all equipment, cookware, and utensils are specific to the station and not shared with other food preparation areas of our facilities. The staff working at Pure Eats stations are trained in proper cooking methods and preventing cross-contact. Full ingredient information and package labels are available upon request.

DINING HALL HACKS 10
Veggie Bagel
You can make your own veggie bagel right here in the dining hall.
Grab a bagel from the bagel case and toast it. Shmear with hummus
and top with arugula and other veggies from the salad bar such as
tomatoes, red onions, and olives. Yum!
Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
Grab a cup of oatmeal, an apple, 2 tsps of honey, and some
cinnamon. Cut up your apple slices small enough to top your
oatmeal off, add a dash of cinnamon, and drop the honey over the
top for a sweet and delicious breakfast. You can also add some
granola as well.
Deviled Eggs
Grab a few hard boiled eggs from the salad bar and take the yolks
out. Mix the yolk with mayo, mustard, relish, and salt and pepper
and then put the mixed yolk back in the eggs. Throw some salad-bar
bacon bits on top and voila!
Design-Your-Own Waffles
There are so many different things you can do with waffles. For example,
you can make a waffle Patty Melt, Waffle Ice Cream Sandwich, Waffle
Chicken BLT, and much more! Our favorite is probably the Chicken and
Waffle mini sandwich. Grab chicken from the grill, fried or grilled. Cut a
waffle in half and put chicken inside, smother with syrup, and enjoy! Also
try a Waffle Parfait by grabbing yogurt, granola, and fresh fruit from the
salad bar.
Tuna Salad Lettuce Wrap
You can find tuna salad at the Deli station in either dining hall. Simply
ask the associate for some, as well as a few pieces of lettuce. Season
with salt and pepper and top with your favorites such as tomatoes,
hard boiled eggs, etc. Finally close the lettuce leaf and enjoy! Note: this
can also be a very yummy bowl or salad combo!
Burrito Bowl
You can make an awesome burrito bowl any night in the dining
halls. Start by mixing rice with your choice of protein such as tofu,
garbanzo beans, or cut-up grilled chicken. Then add your toppings:
lettuce, tomatoes, beans, and shredded cheese which all can be
found at the salad bar!
Fruit Parfait
Make your own fruit parfait! This is beyond simple. First grab some
Greek yogurt and then top with granola or avoiding gluten oats and
then add your favorite fruit. Repeat with another layer of Greek yogurt,
granola, and fruit until you've got your desired amount of parfait.
Majority of Hacks can be done at both 459 Commons and The 5 Dining
Halls.You can also read
