Allergies and Special Diets
We are committed to working with all students to find ways to ensure that meals can be enjoyed by everyone. This includes communication about and modification to existing menu items, special preparation of menu items, and access to special products, as agreed upon with students.
We are trained in food allergy awareness and offer a number of options for students with food allergies and celiac disease, as well as dietary restrictions including kosher, halal, vegetarian, and vegan diets.
Individuals with food allergies should be aware that we handle and prepare peanut, tree nut, fish, shellfish, soy, egg, milk, wheat/gluten, sesame and other potential allergens in our dining halls, eateries, and kitchens. We advise diners with allergies to:
Pay Attention to Dish Names and Descriptions
Dishes made with common allergens often include the top allergens in the name of each dish or a description on the menu. Our team can also share labels from any products for your review.
Check Online Menus
Menu items that are appropriate options for most students with celiac disease are labeled as “made without gluten-containing ingredients” and can be filtered to streamline searching using the dietary preferences filter. The top nine allergens are included in menu names and/or descriptions whenever possible.
Try the OASIS Station
Oasis is a destination in Howard Dining Hall at Maseeh where all meals prepared are made without the use of the top nine allergens and gluten. OASIS is a segregated station designed with your safety in mind and allows our team to best manage ingredients from delivery to plate. All meals are prepared on designated equipment by a trained culinarian to avoid cross-contact. Oasis has expanded to offer made to order salads in addition to the hot and cold entree selections.
Try the Global Station
Next to the Oasis station at Maseeh, we offer our global-inspired Bowls station, where all the menu items will be prepared without peanuts, tree nuts, gluten, and seafood. This cook-to-order station features daily specials that rotate between various global cuisines, from Mediterranean to barbecue and Korean-inspired bulgogi classics.
Use the Avoiding Gluten Pantry
Our Avoiding Gluten pantry station provides breads, pastries, cookies, condiments, snacks, cereals, and other items that are without gluten-containing ingredients in all six residential dining houses.
Establish Relationships With our Chefs and Dietitian
Simple conversations with chefs can make your dining experience a lot easier. Discuss your allergies with MIT Dining as early in the semester as possible. Questions can also be answered by our Residential Dietitian, Pina Boatwright, MS, RD, LDN, Senior Wellness Coordinator.
Kosher
Kosher dining at MIT is supervised by the Vaad Harabonim of New England. Kosher food is produced onsite in our kosher kitchen and is served in Maseeh’s Howard Dining Hall and W11. Students can contact MIT Hillel at hillel@mit.edu for more information. Visit the MIT Hillel for holiday schedules.
Halal
Muslim students will find daily halal menu offerings at Maseeh and New Vassar for lunch, and all houses for brunch and dinner. Campus Dining works with the MSA for Ramadan meals. Some retail locations also serve halal, including Pacific Street Café, Hayden Courtyard Café, and Tawakal Halal Café.
Vegetarians and Vegans
All House Dining locations offer vegetarian and vegan entrees. Vegetarian and vegan food production is handled in ways to avoid cross-contact with meat products. Retail dining locations also offered varied menus.
