Eating Healthy

Providing you with healthy options is something your dining team proudly does every day. We help you select delicious, nutritious, and satisfying meals, snacks, and desserts by highlighting well-balanced menu choices and providing nutritional information and tips to help you make choices that fit your needs.

Food Allergies

We take pride in serving you wholesome ingredients, preparing recipes accurately and providing nutritional analysis and ingredient statements through our online menus and nutrition calculator. From our general manager to our front-line servers, we work carefully to address food allergies, celiac diets, or other special dietary needs.

We want to meet one-on-one with anyone who has individual dining needs to ensure that your dining experience is safe, delicious, and social.

Gluten Allergies

We offer many entrees and sides at our Simple Servings station made without common allergens, including gluten! We also have bread and packaged desserts made with ingredients without gluten. Make sure to check our menu on the Everyday app, which notes which foods at each station are made without gluten.

Simple Servings

Simple Servings is Sodexo’s innovative solution to proactively address most of the ingredients that account for 90% of all food-allergy reactions: milk, eggs, wheat, soy, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, and sesame. The 9th FDA-specified allergen, fin fish, is included in the offer. Simple Servings also recognizes the current skyrocketing demand for gluten-free foods, which certain students may require out of medical necessity (Celiac Disease) or simply by choice. Simple Servings also appeals to students who prefer plain and simple foods and those with other health-related dietary concerns, such as Type I diabetes.

With Simple Servings, students can comply with food allergies or other dietary concerns without feeling singled out. They won’t have to go off campus for their meals or miss out on dining with their friends while waiting for the chef to specially prepare their meals. All foods offered at the Simple Serving station are naturally free of milk, eggs, wheat, soy, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, and gluten. Straightforward preparation techniques assure transparency of ingredients, and help student prepare to be responsible for their own shopping and cooking in the future. The lunch and dinner menu changes daily and includes varied protein options: fish, beef, pork, chicken, and turkey.

Ask a Dietitian

As part of our program, we offer students access to our nationwide team of Dietitians who specialize in sports nutrition, vegan and vegetarian options, food allergies, and eating balanced meals on campus. To see what we'll be serving at both Rockland Marketplace and North Café, students can visit us  online or on the  Everyday App where they can also find nutritional information. If you'd like to set up a meeting with our Dietitians, please contact our General Manager, Mitch Oliver at Mitchell.Oliver@sodexo.com.

For students with allergies, our Dining Services team works closely with our Office of Accessibility & Disability Services to ensure the health and safety of our students with documented medical needs that require accommodation. Please reach out to the Office of Accessibility to learn more.

Nutrition Icons

Sodexo's nutrition icons make it easy to identify healthy choices. Look for these nutrition icons on the foods being served on your campus to help you meet your dietary needs or desires. If you need assistance finding the right types of foods for you, please reach out to your on-campus Sodexo manager or chef.

If you have additional dietary questions, please contact us so we can help! Sodexo has registered dietitians ready to answer your questions and help you make healthy choices.
