Whether your choices are guided by health considerations, personal values, religious observances, or food allergies, our team works to offer transparent information and menu variety so you can dine with confidence on campus.

Halal

At SIUE Dining, Halal offerings are clearly identified and thoughtfully selected to respect religious practices and cultural traditions. While preparation methods may vary by location, we strive to provide options that align with Halal principles and offer transparency about ingredients and sourcing. Select topic for more details. 

Vegan

Vegan menu items contain no animal products, including meat, dairy, eggs, or honey. SIUE Dining offers a variety of plant-based options across campus to support students, faculty, and staff who follow a vegan lifestyle for ethical, environmental, or health reasons. Vegan items are designed to be flavorful, satisfying, and nutritionally balanced. Select topic for more details. 

Vegetarian

Vegetarian options do not include meat, poultry, or fish, but may contain dairy and/or eggs depending on the dish. SIUE Dining provides a range of vegetarian meals that emphasize fresh ingredients, global flavors, and variety, making it easy to enjoy meat-free dining while meeting nutritional needs. Select topic for more details. 

Gluten-Free

Gluten-free items are prepared without wheat, barley, rye, or other gluten-containing ingredients. SIUE Dining offers gluten-free choices for individuals with celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, or those who choose to limit gluten in their diet. While care is taken in ingredient selection, guests should be aware that shared kitchen environments may pose a risk of cross-contact. Select topic for more details. 

General Allergens

Food allergies and sensitivities are taken seriously at SIUE Dining. Common allergens such as milk, eggs, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish and sesame may be present in our kitchens. Ingredient and allergen information is provided to help guests make informed choices, and our dining team is available to assist with questions or concerns to support safe dining experiences. Select topic for more details. 

Important Information

At SIUE Dining, we are committed to providing clear ingredient information and offering menu choices that support a variety of special dietary needs. Our food is prepared in shared kitchen spaces, so while we take thoughtful steps to accommodate guests, we are unable to guarantee that any menu item is entirely free of allergens, gluten, or other dietary components.

Please note that menus, ingredients, and preparation methods may change from time to time. Guests with food allergies, medical dietary needs, or religious dietary considerations are encouraged to connect with Chef Drake before ordering so we can work together to help identify the best options for you.
