Food Allergies

Serving Students with Food Allergies and Celiac Disease

The dining services team is well-trained in food allergy awareness and offer a number of options for students with food allergies and celiac disease. 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.

Daily menus for each café can be accessed at knox-college.cafebonappetit.com. 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. Top-9 allergens are included in menu names and/or descriptions whenever possible. For more on eating with a food allergy in our café, visit this page and view the guide on Food Allergies and Celiac Disease at Knox College. Further questions about ingredients can be answered by our trained managers/chefs on-site.

Avoiding Gluten?

The Hard Knox Café offers a station dedicated to providing meals made without gluten-containing ingredients. The Roots station provides menu choices that are based on ingredients that are naturally gluten-free or are gluten-free alternatives to traditional options. For this station, food is prepared by a trained culinarian, in a separate area of the kitchen, and following specific procedures to minimize risk of cross-contact.

For questions about these services or to request food allergy accommodations, students should contact:

Michael Alton, General Manager
michael.alton@cafebonappetit.com

Jacob McLean, Assistant Dean of Campus Life
jrmclean@knox.edu
