Students with food allergies and other dietary needs are encouraged to eat at campus dining halls over retail locations. Ban Righ and Leonard dining halls offer a 'true balance' station with dedicated chefs on-site to assist with personalized dietary accommodations. Upon request, the Jean Royce Hall chefs can also provide customized meals and prepare 'true balance' recipes. Each food station includes a menu board with 'Contains and May Contain' statements identifying Health Canada’s priority allergens: milk, eggs, soy, sesame, peanuts, tree nuts, mustard, fish, shellfish, wheat, sulphites, and gluten. If you are dining at Lazy Scholar, Location 21, Wally’s, and flip!t, onsite chefs can help answer any questions.
Ask Before You Eat!
