When it comes to wellness, Bon Appétit’s focus is on simple, delicious food — that happens to be good for you. To support long-term health, we are bringing more plants to menus every day in a craveable way, while emphasizing healthy cooking techniques. When healthy food tastes good, nourishing your body and mind becomes the easy choice.

We serve thousands of guests with food allergies and sensitivities safely in our cafés every day. Our chefs, managers, and dietitians work closely with our food-allergic guests to create reasonable solutions to help them eat what they love. If you have questions about eating for your dietary needs in our cafés, reach out to us: we’ll gladly meet with you.

Wellness also includes the health of the animals, the workers, the community, and the Earth. They’re all connected. Bon Appétit has been committed to “food service for a sustainable future” for decades, and we’ve led the food service industry in tackling many important issues, such as cage-free eggs, antibiotics in animal production, and farmworker rights.

Serving Students with Food Allergies and Celiac Disease 

The dining services team is well-trained in food allergy awareness and offers a variety of options for students with food allergies and celiac disease. Ingredients and allergen information for menu items can be found on our online menus, and allergen information can be found on station signage within our cafés.  

Each student must determine their own level of comfort when making selections within our cafés. To support students in this, we have developed a Food Allergies and Celiac Disease Guide. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of our food allergy and celiac disease program.

Products may change without our knowledge and menu items are prepared in close proximity to other ingredients that may introduce cross-contact with ingredients not listed. We cannot assure against these contingencies. Guests with food allergies or specific dietary concerns should speak with a manager for individualized assistance.
