Food Allergies

Talk to Us about Your Food Allergies and Diet Needs! Students with special dietary needs are expected to communicate their dietary restrictions and requirements to the Dining Team. 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. If you have a food allergy/special diet concern, please call or send us a note using the feedback form.

Simple Servings

Loyola University is proud to offer the Simple Servings concept at our Orleans Room. Simple Servings is a resident dining option that provides safe and appetizing food choices for customers with food allergies, gluten intolerance, or other special dietary needs. The Simple Servings station offers simply prepared foods made without the top 8 FDA identified food allergens: peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, wheat, soy, milk and eggs. In addition, all foods are made without gluten.
Although foods are prepared in a facility that uses these ingredients, we take great measures to protect against the possibility of cross-contact. Separate equipment, utensils, storage areas, and preparation areas minimize this risk, offering customers a safe and healthy dining option.
