Simply3

The Simply3 stations located at both at Berkshire & Westside Dining Halls provides safe and appetizing food choices for our customers with food allergies and gluten intolerance. All foods served at this station are prepared with ingredients that do not contain milk, nuts (peanuts and tree nuts), or gluten. The station uses separate equipment/utensils, preparation areas, and storage areas to minimize the potential of allergens or gluten in our Simply3 foods.

The menu rotates daily and includes a variety of protein (i.e., chicken, beef, lentils), vegetables (i.e., broccoli, carrots, green beans), and starches (i.e., rice, potato, quinoa). There is gluten free pasta also available upon request daily.

The station is incorporated into the servery to allow students, even those without allergy concerns, to enjoy the wholesome food selections. We ask that guests do not bring food from other stations and only use the plates provided by our servers at Simply3.

Simply3 team members are carefully trained to prepare and serve safe food. We provide training throughout the year for all employees and our managers and supervisors also hold AllerTrainU™

certificates.

While the Simply3 station is designed to allow customers an easy way to avoid allergens and gluten, we encourage our customers with special dietary needs to connect with our chef, registered dietitian, and general manager to ensure an enjoyable dining experience. Please contact General Manager Donald.Grayson@sodexo.com, Executive Chef Matthew.Cowles@sodexo.com, or District Dietitian Samantha.Zajac@sodexo.com to discuss your unique needs.
