Indiana University Bloomington
“As it’s been my first year on campus, I’ve been super impressed by IU Bloomington’s allergy adaptations! The dining halls (Forest, McNutt, Wright) all have a “Free From IX” station, where they don’t cook with the top 9 allergens (dairy, gluten, nuts, etc.) to avoid cross-contamination for more serious allergies. Additionally, every food item put out at all stations is labeled with which top allergen(s) it might have, and, in my experience, the staff have always been happy to help with any questions I have. There are also vegan and vegetarian options, and a halal and kosher certified restaurant you can use meal swipes at!”
Restaurant Ami
“Eaten here a few times, and the staff are consistently super clear and helpful when I bring up my nut allergy! Food is also super good with big portions.”
Rita’s Italian Ice & Frozen Custard
“Lots of nut-free options! The staff is kind and will help you with any questions, and they have delicious frozen desserts!”
Hartzell’s Ice Cream
“I always get their soft serve! Each time I’ve been, the staff is clear about which products may contain nuts and any cross-contamination issues, and always kindly let you know what’s safe!”
Starbucks Coffee Company
“Coffee is a huge must on campus at IU Bloomington! Though they have seasonal foods with nuts, there are plenty of safe options and they’ll clean anything needed!”
Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers
“Absolutely no nuts (including peanut oil) in the kitchen, the restaurant is 100% safe and nut-free!”
