Dining Services: What we offer

Dietary Guides & Food Allergies

Because of the rich dietary diversity of students attending Yale, customers look to YUDS to fulfill different dietary needs. To help we automatically provide lists of menu items meeting the most commonly requested information. The Dietary Guides are updated twice during the school year, in August and January.

If you have been diagnosed with a food allergy, please speak with a Dining Services Manager. We know that the only treatment is strict avoidance and that may reduce your menu choices. We also realize label reading is essential. Let us help you eat safely!
