Nutrition on Campus

Sodexo’s approach to nutrition is one that includes delicious meals that are not only indulgent, but are created to inspire one to pursue healthier and better informed nutritional choices. At the core of our approach is a strong focus on fresh ingredients made with simple, healthy preparations, put together to form well-balanced meals.

The "From The Heart" counter at In The Hub will display the following hero card to highlight the nutritional value of your prepared meal.

Information is the first step to making informed choices. Many of our food offerings are labelled with ingredients, allergen information and dietary preferences.

Eat Labeling

We take pride in serving wholesome ingredients, preparing recipes accurately and providing ingredient and allergen information through our online and on-site labeling. From our managers to our front line servers, we work carefully to address food allergies, intolerance and special dietary needs. The 6 most common allergens are labelled in our menus: eggs, dairy, shellfish, gluten, nuts, and soy. If you have any queries or concerns your individual dining needs, please call or send us a note using the feedback form.
