True Balance
Our True Balance station, located in Simpson offers food that is made without the top 9 food allergens (milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, soy, sesame, and wheat). The recipes and ingredients have been reviewed by the chefs and registered dietitians to ensure that we are serving a safe and quality product. The meals served at the True Balance station are prepared in a separate area of the kitchen to prevent cross-contact. Our goal is to accommodate all students with intolerances and allergies and ensure their dietary needs are met. All managers, chefs, and the registered dietitian are trained through Allertrain© in the proper food safety measures in the handling of allergen foods.
*We rely on our vendors’ allergy warnings and ingredient listings. Because we operate a commercial kitchen where cross-contact with allergens is possible, we cannot guarantee that any food item will be completely free of allergens.
