Eating Healthy
Providing you with healthy options is something your dining team proudly does every day. We help you select delicious, nutritious and satisfying meals, snacks and desserts by highlighting well-balanced menu choices and providing nutritional information and tips to help you make choices that fit your needs.
Mindful 
Mindful is Sodexo's health & wellness approach that helps you make healthy choices second nature! We are committed to creating healthy environments for our customers. Central to this effort is providing healthy, nutritious foods. The result of this initiative is an approach that focuses on transparency of ingredients, delicious food, satisfying portions and clarity in message so that you can make Mindful choices!
Mindful offerings meet stringent nutritional criteria based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Each meal part is limited in calories, has fewer than 30% of calories as fat, fewer than 10% of calories as saturated fat, and is restricted in sodium, and cholesterol. Look for the Mindful icon to indulge in the healthy and delicious items offered at each meal.
Food Allergies
We take pride in serving you wholesome ingredients, preparing recipes accurately and providing nutritional analysis and ingredient statements through our online menus and nutrition calculator. From our general manager to our front line servers, we work carefully to address food allergies, celiac diets, or other special dietary needs.
We want to meet one-on-one with anyone who has individual dining needs to ensure that your dining experience is safe, delicious, and social. If you have a food allergy/special diet concern, please email Krista at Krista.Niezelski@Sodexo.com.
Simple Zone: Found at both our residential meal halls, Simple Zones are dedicated areas for guests with gluten, peanut, and tree-nut allergies. Each zone has its own toaster, microwave, and fridge stocked with gluten-free snacks, bread, bagels, wraps, desserts, and more. We ask those who take from these fridges respect the space and only take what is needed.
Signage
We utilize a menu system that highlights the top nine allergens: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree-nuts, fish, shellfish, wheat, sesame, and soy. If you have an allergen that is not in the top nine, please speak with our dietician to ensure you have the right resources to ensure safety. Guests may check menus ahead of time on the Everyday app or check the labels at each station.
See the following menu keys below that appear on our food signage:
(V) Vegetarian
(VG) Vegan
(GF) Gluten Free
(L) Local
(H) Halal
(Leaf Logo) Plant-based
