University of Delaware Dining Services believes that good nutrition is essential to good health. That’s why we are committed to nourishing each and every student by providing healthy, nutritious foods every day. We support students who have dietary restrictions by providing information that allows students to make informed choices in our dining locations. Our goal is to provide students with the tools they need to be active in the management of their dietary restrictions to ensure a safe and supportive transition into college life.

Ask A Dietitian

Debbi Miller, R.D., L.D.N. specializes in making on-campus dining options work by helping students locate food they can eat, developing individualized menus and providing specially-prepared foods when the daily offerings do not meet students’ dietary needs. She will take into account each individual student’s personal dietary needs and work together to provide reasonable arrangements so that all students may participate in the college dining experience. Set up a consultation today by phone at 302-831-1008 or by email at dml@udel.edu.

Allergen Solutions Station

Our allergen solutions station, True Balance, at Caesar Rodney Fresh Food Company and Pencader Dining feature specialized options from ingredients without the eight most common food allergens: milk, eggs, wheat or gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, or soybean. Our True Balance station allows students with any of these food allergies to dine without restriction.

Online Menus & Nutritional Information

For our residential dining locations students can view our menus in advance and in real-time on our website, www.udel.edu/dining. The nutritional information, ingredient lists and allergen statements are also listed. Students can also find the nutritional information available at each station in our dining locations.

Kosher

We are extremely proud of the kosher dining station at the University of Delaware. Open to all students, the campus community, and the public, this station is one of many food options available in Caesar Rodney Fresh Food Company. Menu items are produced to exacting standards by dining staff under the direction of an Orthodox Union–certified mashgiach and are prepared in dedicated meat and dairy kitchens. The daily feature is served with complimentary side dishes, along with a core parve menu to provide additional variety. Several other kosher options are available on campus as well.

Vegan & Vegetarian Options

All of our dining halls have vegan and vegetarian options available at every meal period. The Caesar Rodney Fresh Food Company has both a dedicated Vegan and Flexitarian station. We add new vegan recipes to the menu every year. Look for the green leaf symbols on the displayed nutritional information card to easily identify vegan and vegetarian options in our dining halls. Our Vegan Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies are a student favorite!

It is important to note, we make every effort to provide students with the information needed to make decisions about which foods to eat. However, the possibility for cross contact still exists in a community dining setting like ours. Students should be proficient in the self-management of their dietary needs and are encouraged to work closely with University of Delaware Dining Services.
