Nutrition and Allergens

Dietary Guide CoverMSU Culinary Services (CS) provides an array of resources to help you self-navigate our campus dining options. They are included in our interactive, digital brochure at go.msu.edu/dietaryguide.

To self-report a dietary restriction and contact the CS Dietitian, complete our simple online form at go.msu.edu/dietarysurvey. Once you submit the completed form, our dietitian will follow up with you. 

Please visit our Nutrition and Allergens FAQs page for common questions and answers on a variety of topics, including allergen labeling, religious restrictions, vegan and vegetarian dining, and other nutrition-related subjects. 

Some students with food allergies, Celiac Disease, or other medical conditions that impact dining on campus may require further assistance. Please refer to the Dietary Accommodations Policy (insert hyperlink) to learn more about the procedures to follow for accommodations due to documented food allergies or medically documented restrictions or needs. .

Guests can access our online tool, MSUtrition, here: msutrition.rhs.msu.edu. The resource allows diners to filter our menu options by allergens and dietary preferences. In addition, hovering your mouse cursor over a menu item name will show the detailed ingredients for the item.
