Sodexo offers three solutions tailored to serve safe and delicious dining options — and peace of mind — to students with food allergies every day. Each solution helps students transition from the safety of home, where allergens may have been strictly excluded, to dining independently in a public environment. These carefully operated offers include:

  • Simple Servings, the most robust offer excluding allergens that account for 90% of food allergic reactions.
  • Simply 3, a station focused on 3 core allergens to prioritize safety while offering more variety.
  • Simple Zone, an allergen-free self-serve pantry that allows students to augment each meal.

All food allergy solutions are supported by comprehensive employee safety training and third-party quality assurance checks through Sodexo’s Gold-level partnership with FARE (Food Allergy Research and Education), an industry leader in standardizing food allergy practices to support student safety and well-being. 

  • Simple Servings

    This award-winning, student-trusted premium food allergy offer serves hot meals prepared free from eight of the nine most common allergens. Chefs craft these food offerings without milk, eggs, wheat, soy, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame and gluten.

  • Simple Zone

    This main food allergen-free pantry gives students with food allergies the freedom of self-serve. Here, a reach-in refrigerator offers heat-and-eat meals, while dedicated appliances like a toaster and microwave reduce the risk of cross-contact during meal prep. Students can also safely enhance their meals with a variety of gluten-free, nut-free and/or dairy-free staples like condiments, bread and milk, taking the stress out of dining with food allergies.
