Allergen Disclaimer
Oklahoma State University makes effort to identify ingredients that may cause allergic reactions for those with food allergies. Items marked gluten friendly are made with no gluten-containing ingredients. The allergen information provided is accurate and up-to-date to the best of our knowledge, but it is based entirely on the information provided by our ingredient manufacturers and suppliers. Because of the number of meals served, the number of items used each day, food product changes from our food vendors, and/or the limited number of allergens that manufacturers are required to disclose, it cannot be guaranteed that every allergen in the food served will be identified and labeled. There is always a risk that our menu items may contain allergens or may have come in contact with other items containing allergens. There is also a possibility that manufacturers of the commercial foods we use could change the formulation at any time, without notice. Our foods are prepared in facilities where peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, wheat, soy, milk, and eggs are also prepared.
Customers concerned with food allergies need to be aware of this risk. Oklahoma State University will not assume any liability for adverse reactions to foods consumed, or items one may come in contact with while eating at any of the University establishments. It is the responsibility of the customer with food allergies or other specified nutritional concerns to make the final judgment on whether or not to question the ingredients of a food item or to choose to eat the foods selected. Guests are encouraged to consider the information provided, to their own satisfaction, in light of their individual needs and requirements. Guests with food allergies, food intolerances, or other special diets that require abstaining from certain food items should consult a Chef or Dining Manager for specific ingredient questions when in the dining facility. Students and guests are encouraged to contact the UDS Registered Dietitian at (405) 744-4424 for additional information and/or support.
