Food Allergies & Special Dietary Needs

Hopkins Dining strives to create an inclusive eating environment by curating menus that meet the needs of the diverse student body. Extensive menu planning guarantees that there will be many options for students with allergies or special preferences (e.g., vegan and vegetarian). We intend to make navigating the dining halls simple by displaying food allergen icons and dietary preference icons next to our food items. We also offer online menus so you may plan ahead and review the in depth nutrition facts.

For more detailed information, please review our Allergens & Special Diet Resource Guide to learn more.

For those who follow a Halal diet, please review our Halal Diet Resource Guide to better understand the options available to you.

Allergen Disclaimer

All-you-care to eat facilities may be susceptible to cross-contact due to their self-service approach. We strive to source, prepare and handle food properly to avoid the introduction of allergens into menu items. We take steps to prevent cross-contact, but do not have separate allergy-friendly kitchens and are unable to guarantee that a menu item is completely free of allergens. Allergen-friendly offerings and nutrition statements are reliant on supplier ingredient labels, and we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the contents of each food item. However, we strive to provide the most accurate and updated information as able. Allergen advisory statements (e.g. “may not contain”) are not regulated and therefore are not taken into consideration when developing allergy-friendly meals. It is ultimately our diner’s discretion to make an informed choice based upon their individual dietary needs. We recommend that guests work with dining services prior to dining in our facilities if they have specific dietary needs.
