UWM Dining and Retail Services is committed to helping students, faculty, staff, and guests make informed choices that meet their individual dietary needs.
We recognize that food allergies, intolerances, celiac disease, and other dietary restrictions can make dining away from home challenging, and we strive to provide clear and accurate ingredient, allergen, and nutrition information.
Allergen & Gluten Information
UWM Dining and Retail Services identifies the nine major food allergens—milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, and sesame—as well as gluten in our menu and nutrition information.

If You Have a Food Allergy or Special Dietary Need
If you have a food allergy, celiac disease, food intolerance, or another special dietary need, we highly encourage you to fill out the UWM Dining Allergy & Dietary Needs Form. After submitting this form, a member of our dining team will reach out to schedule time to help you better understand our menu options, ingredients, preparation methods, and potential areas of concern. Individuals with severe food allergies or other medically necessary dietary restrictions should not rely solely on online menu information when making dining decisions.
Our Commitment to Accurate Information
UWM Retail and Dining Services strives to provide accurate and up-to-date ingredient, allergen, and nutrition information. However, foodservice is a changing environment. Manufacturers may reformulate products or change ingredients without notice, product substitutions may be necessary due to availability, and recipes or preparation methods may occasionally change.
Although we take steps to keep our information accurate, unintentional errors or omissions in ingredient, allergen, nutrition, or dietary labeling may occur. The absence of an allergen designation or dietary icon should not be interpreted as a guarantee that an item is completely free of that allergen or ingredient. If you notice information in Nutrislice or on the UWM Dining and Retail Services website that you believe may be incorrect or inconsistent, please let us know. We want to investigate potential discrepancies and correct information as quickly as possible.
Cross-Contact and Manufacturer Disclaimer
UWM Dining and Retail Services handles and prepares foods containing a variety of allergens in its kitchens and service areas. While procedures may be used to reduce the risk of allergen cross-contact, cross-contact may still occur, and Dining Services cannot guarantee that any food or dining environment is completely free of a particular allergen. In addition, manufacturers and suppliers may change product formulations, ingredients, or manufacturing practices at any time and without advance notice to UWM Dining and Retail Services. Product substitutions may also occur when regularly used products are unavailable. Guests with food allergies or other dietary restrictions should consider these risks when making dining decisions and consult Dining Services staff whenever they have questions about a menu item.
Important Health Information
The nutrition, ingredient, allergen, and dietary information provided by UWM Dining and Retail Services is intended to help guests make informed food choices and is provided for general informational purposes. It is not intended as medical advice or as a substitute for individualized guidance from a qualified healthcare professional. Individuals who require a medically prescribed diet or have questions about managing a health condition should consult a physician, registered dietitian nutritionist, or other qualified healthcare professional.
Your safety and confidence in our dining program are important to us. If something does not look right, please ask. We would rather have the opportunity to review a question or potential discrepancy than have a guest make a decision based on information they believe may be inaccurate.
Foodborne Illness Complaint
If you believe you may have been exposed to a foodborne illness at a UWM Dining and Retail Services Outlet, we encourage you to complete our Foodborne Illness Investigation/Complaint Form to report the incident. Your health and safety are our top priorities, and we take these situations very seriously. If you have any specific questions or concerns, please email Summer Hausz.
