Dietary Accomodation Policy
OVERVIEW & PURPOSE
St. Norbert College Catering is committed to meeting the needs of guests who have special dietary restrictions (such as a food allergy or intolerance) and recognizes that many of our guests may also adhere to a vegetarian, vegan or other therapeutic diet. Our Event Services coordinators will guide the organizer of your event assisting in guiding menu selections suggestions for reasonable and safe accommodation for guests. In addition, St. Norbert College will:
St. Norbert College Catering will not assume liability for any adverse reactions that may occur in our dining facilities. This is addressed via our client contract.
Menu items are prepared in multi-purpose central commissary kitchen environment; these ingredients may come in contact with items containing allergens; there is always a risk of cross contact in food handling.
Food manufacturers are not required to inform us of a change in the ingredients and nutritional content of certain food products; there is a potential that their formulation or processing change could alter allergen and/or nutritional information.
With advance notice, we can generally accommodate guests who must avoid the Big 8 food allergens, as well as gluten. We do not regularly label allergens or ingredients at catered functions but may occasionally label only for the Big 8 allergens, which are:
milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, crustacean shellfish, wheat, and soy protein. We will also accommodate gluten intolerance.
To ensure guest safety, our staff may not be able to accommodate individual dietary preferences the day of the event.
We are unable to accommodate for therapeutic diets (e.g. diabetic diet, cardiac diet, renal diet, etc.).
