Holy Cross Dining is committed to providing students with nutritious meals that they can enjoy without worrying about food allergies. To do this, students can access menu information online on the dining website to review ingredients and nutritional information. Students who have questions about eating in our dining hall with food allergies should contact Holy Cross Dining.
Students with severe food allergies should submit the appropriate documentation to the Office of Student Accessibility Services. This will allow students to have a direct line of contact with Student Accessibility services and Dining Services to be able to discuss allergies and dining needs. Please refer to the Office of Student Accessibility Services documentation guidelines for more specific criteria.
The Food Allergy and Special Diet (FASD) program provides reasonable accommodations to students per the Americans with Disabilities Act. This program will provide you with transparency, information and nutrition guidance

Menus, nutrition information, ingredients and allergens are available on the Kimball Dining website.
