Food Allergies

We take pride in sourcing wholesome ingredients, preparing recipes accurately and providing nutritional analysis and ingredient statements through our online menus and nutrition calculator. We are all passionate about serving students. From general manager to front line servers, we work diligently to address students’ specific needs, especially those with food allergies, Celiac disease, or special diet needs.

A team approach led by you, our educated consumer, is the best preparation for a safe school year free of allergic reactions. We want to meet one-on-one with all of our customers who have individual dining needs to ensure that your dining experience is safe, delicious, and social. If you have a food allergy/special diet concern, please contact our dietitian, Joe Chism, at joe.chism@sodexo.com or call 859-985-3937.

We also encourage you to contact Student Disability Services regarding your food allergy at msu.studentdisabilities@murraystate.edu or click here.

Simple Servings

The Simple Servings station at the dining center provides safe and flavorful food choices for our guests with food allergies, celiac disease, and those who prefer simple foods. All items served at this station are prepared with ingredients that do not contain milk, eggs, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, or gluten. The menu rotates daily and includes a variety of protein such as chicken, beef, lentils; starches like potato, quinoa, and rice; and vegetables, including a rotating salad option.​

Simple Servings is available for everyone to enjoy. We ask that guests do not bring food from other food stations and only use the plates provided by our servers at Simple Servings. While Simple Servings is designed to allow guests an easy way to avoid food allergens and gluten, we encourage those with special dietary needs to connect with our dining management team. ​
