Stay Safe and Eat Well
Salisbury University Dining Services recognizes that some students have one or more food allergies or intolerances that require them to carefully manage their diets. Students with special requests are strongly encouraged to make us aware of these needs as early as possible. We make every effort to provide helpful information to our campus community. Our chefs, managers and dietitian are available to work with individual students to determine the dining strategy that best meets your personal needs. Our goal is to provide each student with the resources needed to successfully manage their food allergies and enjoy their dining experience.
Menus and Labeling
Menus are posted on our website with nutrition label information provided for each menu item. To ease your search for allergen friendly foods, use the filtering feature which allows you to filter for any allergen or ingredient. For example, see all foods that do not contain wheat.
We do offer Honey Nut Cheerios, almond milk and individual containers of peanut butter. When nuts are used it is clearly marked as an allergen on our menu webpage.
Gluten Friendly Dining
At UDS we try to make it as easy as possible to manage gluten intolerances. Let’s take a tour of Commons Dining from a gluten sensitive perspective.
Bistro
This is where you will find a refrigerator with specialty items for those managing allergies. It is stocked with gluten-free bagels, muffins, bread, rolls and wraps. Please note that not all items are top 9 allergen-free. For example, gluten-free items may contain eggs or soy. Other items, such as dressings or condiments, may also be stored here.

Gluten free pizza crust is available. It is cooked on a clean, gluten free surface to avoid cross contact while cooking.
Simply Fine
Our allergen and gluten friendly location. Here you will find simply prepared whole foods as well as a vegetarian selections.
Sabrosa
Serving up burritos, bowls and tacos, Sabrosa offers gluten friendly proteins, corn tortilla’s and rice bowls made to order.
Wok
Build your own stir fry. Rice and gluten free tamari are offered here however we do not offer a gluten free wok for cooking. This area may be appropriate for gluten sensitive guests but not for those that need to be 100% gluten free as in celiac disease.
