Allergen-Friendly Options

Read our standards for defining meals that fit specific lifestyles including vegetarian, vegan, kosher, halal, and allergen-friendly. Learn more about where to eat meals that fit your needs.

Students with food allergies and other dietary needs are encouraged to schedule a one-on-one consultation with a member of the Dining Services Nutrition Team to receive individualized nutrition support. Email nutrition@wustl.edu to schedule a Nutrition Consultation.

Identify Your Meals

  • Allergy Icons: Easily identify meals that meet your dietary needs with our allergen icons. These icons indicate allergens present in menu items and are available on digital screens, signage, our dining website, and the Everyday App.
  • Lifestyle Icons: Find meals tailored to your lifestyle preferences using our lifestyle icons. These icons are also featured on digital screens, signage, our dining website, and the Everyday App.

WashU Dining Dietary Definitions

Vegetarian at WashU Dining Services means ovo-lacto vegetarian (includes eggs & dairy). Vegetarian items are prepared separately from non-vegetarian ones, using dedicated equipment cleaned after use with non-vegetarian items.

WashU Dining Services defines vegan items as those with no animal by-products. Vegan items are prepared separately from non-vegetarian products, and cooking equipment and utensils are cleaned and sanitized after use with non-vegetarian items.

Products are labeled as Kosher if they are prepared in the on-site Kosher Kitchen or come from a certified Kosher vendor. Kosher items are produced in the Kosher Kitchen under Mashgiach supervision by a dedicated Kosher production team.

WashU Dining labels menu items containing meat as Halal if they are made with a certified Halal meat and have been produced with the appropriate cross contact measures to remain Halal. Menu items not contacting meat will be labeled as Halal only if there has been an intentional ingredient substitution for alcohol-derived ingredients within the recipe.

We do not use peanuts and treenuts in the production of food in our dining facilities, with the exception of our bakeries and some cafes. Grab & go items containing nuts are individually packaged with a “contains nuts” icon.

For more information about dining on campus with a nut allergy, please email nutrition@wustl.edu.

Our Simple Servings concepts do not use ingredients or foods containing gluten, including wheat, barley and rye; yet, our dining locations and kitchens are not certified gluten-free facilities.
