Shellfish and Fish Dietary Accommodations:

NDSU Dining Centers

NDSU Dining unlimited meal plans include access to both the Residence Dining Center and West Dining Center.

The West Dining Center is the designated allergen-friendly dining facility. The West Dining Center is where you’ll find Clean Eats - a food station that serves meals free from the top 9 allergens (including shellfish and fish). Clean Eats serves full meals during lunch and dinner and offers a continental breakfast in the mornings.

Menu Labeling

When it comes to learning more about the ingredients in foods served at the dining centers, NDSU Dining displays nutrition labels online for all of our menu items. The online can be accessed online or on the NDSU Dining mobile app.

Circling shelfish labels

The West Dining Center and the Residence Dining Center also use digital menu boards that display the menu and allergen icons above each food station, so guests can view the menu and quickly identify which foods (if any) contain shellfish or fish. Depending on the severity of your food allergy, you may feel comfortable eating at other stations when the menus have foods that do not contain shellfish or fish. However, it is highly recommended that individuals with a severe allergy only eat at Clean Eats to reduce the chance of consuming anything with cross-contamination. For example, some stations may serve fried foods that do not contain shellfish or fish as an ingredient, but may be fried in the same oil as another item that contains shellfish or fish.
