Dining Hall Safety Tips

Dining Hall Safety Tips

Before You Eat

  • Check menus ahead of time
  • Ask questions. You may reach out to the dietitians at any time.

While Dining

  • Speak to a manager and/or chef
  • Assess high-risk stations* and dine at your own discretion. Disposable takeout containers and plastic utensils are available
    • Shared serving utensils, high-traffic stations, and allergen-containing meals

Self-Service Areas

  • Higher risk for cross-contact
  • Ask for a fresh serving from the kitchen when needed
  • Disposable takeout containers and plastic utensils are available
  • Visit and get your meals from Thrive for breakfast, lunch, and dinner
    • This is strongly encouraged for those who are allergic to any of the 9 allergens and/or gluten, and for those who are at risk for anaphylaxis
  • Important reminder: Staff should never guess — if unsure, they should verify
