Meeting your allergy and dietary needs

If you have a food allergy or special dietary concern, you’ll be supported by many options for dietary needs at UNH dining halls. You can check the UNH dining halls’ menus online ahead of time to see what foods are vegan, vegetarian, gluten-friendly, Halal, and more. Both dining halls also have allergen-friendly stations, featuring a rotating menu of selections prepared with ingredients that do not contain gluten or the nine most common food allergens: milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybean, and sesame. There is also a gluten-friendly supplemental station with pre-packaged gluten-free foods. Students can additionally request a separate portion of any menu item without allergy cross-contact. 

Eating healthy in college

UNH Dining makes it easy to choose healthy options that will give you the energy you need to take on the busy life of a college student. Our Guiding Stars nutritional program rates food based on nutritional value according to the recommendations of the FDA and the USDA. Students can view the Guiding Stars nutritional value for menu items ahead of time on the online menu. They can also meet with the campus dietician to discuss smart eating options and assistance with nutritional concerns or personal nutritional goals. 

Customizing your meals

At UNH, two dining halls and a wide variety of menu options mean you won’t easily get tired of what’s for dinner. However, if you’re a picky eater or are looking to recreate something you made at home, you can do that, too! Check out a student’s and how our students DIY a and a at the dining hall. Students can also take advantage of a convenient and sustainable option through the Meals to Go program. UNH Dining offers reusable to-go boxes for students who want to take their meal from the dining hall to eat in their residence hall or on the go. Our retail dining locations are also a great way to grab a meal on the go or indulge in different options.
