Campus Dining has developed a comprehensive approach to supporting students with food allergies and special dietary considerations. Our culinary team is readily available to work with students to ensure that their dietary needs are met.
Students with a food allergy due to medically documented food restrictions should review the dining plan information, and housing and dining license carefully to make sure that their dietary needs can be met. Please contact Campus Dining for further assistance at (805) 756-5939 or email campusdining@calpoly.edu.
Campus Dining received certification from the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) for achieving “GREAT Schools” status, which exemplifies high standards in gluten-free food services. To meet their requirements for GREAT Schools certification, key dining operations staff underwent extensive training through several learning modules and has gluten-free designated food preparation areas. The dining staff is proud to offer multiple gluten-free and allergen-free food options to the campus community.

All of Campus Dining’s venues offer a variety of options for every lifestyle preference. Because most items are offered and served a la carte, you are able to customize your meal the way you want. Want an item sans cheese? Ask for it. All venues have a variety of beans, tofu, grains, vegetables, fruits, and condiments. To help identify the vegan and vegetarian options, look for their special identifiers on all Campus Dining menus.

Campus Dining makes every attempt to identify ingredients that may cause allergic reactions for those with food allergies. Along with employee training, Campus Dining labels items with known allergen-containing ingredients; however, there is always a risk of contamination. There is also a possibility that manufacturers of the commercial foods we use could change the formulation at any time, without notice. Customers concerned with food allergies need to be aware of this risk. Customers with food allergies or other food intolerances should consult a chef or dining manager for specific ingredient questions. Campus Dining will not assume any liability for adverse reactions to foods consumed, or items one may come in contact with while eating at any university establishment.
Most food items can be modified to your liking (i.e. omit certain meats and cheeses). Please ask for assistance when placing your order
