Nutrition and Allergen Info

In order for BYU Dining to provide students who self-identify with specific dietary needs, it is critical for these students to do the following:

• Verbalize your allergy when ordering from any dining location or station. This will alert the staff member to get an allergy-trained manager or cook.
• Meet with our Dining Registered Dietitian (at no charge). To make an appointment, call 801-422-2573, email diningdietitian@byu.edu, or make an appointment through the page on our website. The registered dietitian will be able to help identify individual strategies and resources to help you be successful.
• Review all the provided resources on our website before coming to campus. Once on campus, carefully read the food labels that are available to you. Our website menus and BYU App display the entire ingredient list for every menu item that is served.
• Read and review our Nutrition and Allergy Disclaimer.
• When in doubt, avoid any ingredient or dish if you are unsure if it is safe. Always ask a manager on duty for more information. They are ready and eager to help. Do not consume foods that contain one of your allergens.
• Be able to recognize symptoms of your allergic reaction and know the proper use of medications for your reaction. If you use an EpiPen, always carry it with you and be prepared to use it. Our staff are NOT trained to administer an EpiPen, and we do not store epinephrine for use in our facilities.
• When needed, request accommodation from the University Accessibility Office (UAC).

We regularly review the ingredient and allergen information provided to our customers for accuracy and transparency. This information can be consistently found on the BYU app, on the Dining website, and posted in dining facilities across campus.

Top Nine Major Allergens: Menu signs across campus will always identify the Top 9 allergens as required by the FDA using the following icons. Additional filters for other foods can be found on the mobile app and online menus.

Gluten Free Friendly vs Gluten Free:

Gluten Free Friendly (GFF) labels indicate menu items that do not have any gluten-containing ingredients and are prepared separately from other menu items that do, but not in a dedicated gluten free facility or area. These items are not certified gluten free, and we cannot guarantee less than 20 ppm gluten.

Gluten Free (GF) labels are reserved for products that use ingredients which are declared by the manufacturer to be gluten free and are prepared in a separate cooking space to avoid cross contact OR are individually wrapped, single serving items from a certified GF manufacturer.

Vegan and Vegetarian: Additionally, if an item is Vegan or Vegetarian, the following icons will be used. If a menu item qualifies as Vegan, only the Vegan icon will be used and not both.

Voluntary Advisory Labeling: Manufacturers of food we use do not have to include voluntary advisory labeling such as “May contain…,” “Manufactured in a facility that process…,” and “May contain traces of…”. If a manufacturer provides advisory labeling, BYU Dining Services stores that information in our electronic files. Individuals who have been advised to avoid products with advisory labeling may contact the campus dining dietitian for more information regarding specific food products.

Allergens, nutrition information, and ingredient lists for foods served across campus are available on the BYU app and on our website.
