Gluten-Free
Let’s enjoy fresh, flavorful foods that just happen to be gluten-free
Whenever we try new recipes, we ask ourselves two questions: Will it taste really, really good? And if so, why not make it with GF ingredients and equipment? Result: a host of amazing GF options, including campus favorites like Commons Marketplace grab-and-go chicken Caesar salad and the ramen noodle bar at Fresh at Carmichael. Here are a few of the ways we take allergen concerns off your plate:
An entire dining center that’s certified gluten-free
Fresh at Carmichael is the reinvention of one of our two largest dining venues. It’s 100% free of gluten, tree nuts, and peanuts.
Great-tasting, gluten-free favorites to go
No time for a sit-down meal? Head for Hodgdon Food-on-the-Run and grab a burrito or grain bowl made with fresh, GF ingredients.
A dining platform free of gluten and eight more
At Dewick’s ALL9FREE, the breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus are full of tempting, gluten-free choices, all specially prepared in a separate kitchen.
Let’s keep cross-contact in check
When one food touches another, the proteins can mix. That’s cross-contact, and it could expose you to gluten and other allergens. We’ve taken a number of steps to keep that from happening. For example:
- The charbroiler in Dewick is free of the top nine allergens, including gluten-containing ingredients
- We arrange foods in an order that reduces the likelihood of cross-contact
- In both Fresh at Carmichael and Dewick, we provide a dedicated gluten-free toaster, panini press, cutting board, and knife
- No gluten of any kind is even allowed in the doors at Fresh at Carmichael and Carm2
