FOOD ALLERGIES
Serving Students with Food Allergies and Celiac Disease
The dining services team is well-trained in food allergy awareness and offer a number of options for students with food allergies and celiac disease. This includes communication about and modification to existing menu items, special preparation of menu items, and access to special products as agreed upon with students.
Daily menus for each café can be accessed at eckerd.cafebonappetit.com. Menu items that are appropriate options for most students with celiac disease are labeled as “made without gluten-containing ingredients” and can be filtered to streamline searching using the dietary preferences filter. Top-9 allergens are included in menu names and/or descriptions whenever possible. For more on eating with a food allergy in our café, visit this page and view the guide on Food Allergies and Celiac Disease at Eckerd College. Further questions about ingredients can be answered by our trained managers/chefs on-site.
Dining Without the Top-9
We understand that our guests with special dietary needs, albeit food allergies, celiac disease, lactose intolerance, or any other medically necessary diet simply want a safe place to make food choices, quickly. To allow guests to have readily available options that meet their needs, we offer Bare — a destination in the café where all meals are prepared without the use of top-9 allergens plus gluten through the sole use of whole foods.
Avoiding Gluten?
Café Bon Appétit offers a station dedicated to providing packaged products Made Without Gluten-Containing Ingredients. The Bare station provides packaged breads, baked goods, and snacks prepared with ingredients that are naturally without gluten-containing ingredients or alternatives to traditional gluten-containing options. This station is in a designated area of the café to minimize risk of cross-contact.
For questions about these services or to request food allergy accommodations, students should contact:
