Meet Your Dietitian

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 Serving is our resident dining option, providing safe appetizing food choices "ready-to-go" for our customers with food allergies, gluten intolerance, or those who prefer plain an simple foods. The Simple Servings station does not offer food made with the FDA's most common allergens of peanuts, tree nut, shellfish, wheat, soy, milk products, and eggs. All foods offered will be made without gluten-containing ingredients.  Simple Servings staff members are carefully training to avoid cross-contamination of their menu items. Separate equipment, storage areas, utensils, and preparation areas minimize, but do not totally eliminate the chances of gluten and allergens in our Simple Servings foods.
     

Simple Servings: providing convenient, delicious, and secure options.  Focus on your future, not your food allergy.
