Students with dietary restrictions now have more options to chow down at ΒιΆΉΣ³»΄«Γ½ dining halls thanks to the installation of a new βallergy-friendlyβ food station at Knightroβs and Marketplace.
Aramark, ΒιΆΉΣ³»΄«Γ½βs dining provider, has created a βPeace of Mindβ station that debuted in June at both dining halls. The station was added by the ΒιΆΉΣ³»΄«Γ½ Dining Services team in response to a survey of 3,000 students on their dining experiences. In the survey, many students wanted to see more locally grown food options along with increased requests for specific dietary accommodations. The βPeace of Mindβ station will βsatisfy all these requests in one location,β Aramark said.
βThis station is for everyone: anyone who likes to customize their own meal, customers who enjoy healthy options, and allergy-sensitive consumers,β Aramark said.
Guests can create a custom meal by combining fresh, local produce, vegan protein items and gluten-free grains such as rice noodles or quinoa. These custom combinations are then sautΓ©ed by a station chef with olive oil or sauces in flavors such as Moroccan vegetable tagine or roasted red pepper.
Knightroβs and Marketplace will also continue to offer existing gluten-free options: gluten-free cheese pizza (upon request), gluten-free Rice Chex cereal, chicken breast and turkey burgers at the grill, select side dishes and select fair-trade, organic Green Mountain Coffee drinks.
