Our award-winning and nationally recognized dietitian and nutrition team are here to make sure you

have a fresh and healthy experience when you eat with the Pack.

Throughout our operations, we place special emphasis on fresh foods and wellness to help our

guests pursue a healthier lifestyle that can be embraced long after

their time at NC State. This includes educating our students, offering healthy food choices, providing effective and informative food

labeling, and encouraging healthful activities for students and our staff.

University Dining has joined the Partnership for a Healthier

America in a commitment to encourage healthier eating habits

and solidify our commitment to student health and wellness.

University Dining is recognized nationally for our work ensuring students with food allergies and intolerances can dine confidently on campus.

We mark the eight major food allergens (dairy, eggs, gluten, soy, fish, shellfish, tree nuts and peanuts) in all of our dining locations. For guests with a gluten intolerance, we have a special “gluten-friendly” section of the dining hall. It has a separate fridge stocked with dairy-free food and gluten-friendly items, plus a separate toaster to prevent cross contamination. Gluten-friendly foods are those made without gluten products.

• Attend our on campus allergy support group meetings that convene twice a month. For more information about the support group, visit facebook.com/groups/NCSUAllergyFree
