Allergen Information

IU South Bend Dining Services makes every attempt to identify ingredients that may cause allergic reactions for those with food allergies. Every effort is made to instruct our food production staff on the severity of food allergies.

In addition, we label items on the menu with possible allergen-containing ingredients; however, there is always a risk of contamination. There is also a possibility that the manufacturers of the commercial foods we use could change the formulations at any time without notice. Customers concerned with food allergies need to be aware of the risk.
