Emory University
“My experience with the Emory dining hall has been pretty positive. In my first week of freshman year, I spoke with Emory’s dietician to discuss how the dining hall handles food allergies. They are peanut and tree nut-free. I was happy to learn this information, but I still had to avoid sesame in the dining hall. At every food station there is a menu that lists some of the main ingredients, and I was informed that they would list sesame if it was included in the dish. Now when I go to the dining hall, I always check to make sure the dish doesn’t have sesame. I avoid the toaster and all breads due to cross-contamination. However, they are not the most accommodating. There are to go options for sandwiches, and they all contain sesame (except for the gluten-free bread). Overall, I have eaten safely in the dining hall at Emory, but my options are more limited given that I have to avoid sesame. ”
