Dietary Needs Form

The West Dining Center (WDC) is NDSU's designated allergen-friendly dining center on campus, providing students with sensitive diets the opportunity to eat fully prepared meals without worry. All items served within the WDC are made without peanut or tree nut ingredients.

Clean Eats is a food station within the West Dining Center that serves entrees, side items, and desserts that are free from gluten and the top nine allergens: fish, shellfish, dairy, soy, eggs, nuts, tree nuts, sesame, and wheat.

A separate mini fridge and cupboard with additional options is also available for students with food allergies near the Clean Eats station. 

Please note that NDSU's centralized production bakery is located on the lower level of the West Dining Center. Every effort is made to avoid cross-contact with the upper-level West Dining Center, but they do use peanut and tree nut ingredients for other dining locations on campus.

The Residence Dining Center (RDC) has a mini fridge stocked with gluten-free bagels, cookies, bread, and hamburger buns. 

The Creations station also features items that can be made gluten-free such as gluten-free pizza, nachos, toasted sandwiches, and pasta. This area is not completely free of gluten, so cross-contact is possible, however, these items are made upon request and can be customized to meet a variety of needs.

Additionally, the Grill station can make bun-free hamburgers, breakfast sandwiches, and chicken if available, simply ask for yours to be made separately.

The Union Dining Center (UDC) provides gluten-free self-serve options, including bread and desserts. There are also naturally allergy-friendly items available to choose from.
