Food Allergies & Special Diets Guide
This page is intended to assist students who are vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, or dairy-free in navigating food options available on campus. All items listed are vegetarian, with additional options for vegan, gluten- and dairy-friendly selections. While SDSU strives to minimize cross-contamination, we advise students that all food from third-party vendors is considered gluten- and dairy-friendly, not gluten- and dairy-free as these vendors are owned and operated independently.

***Disclaimer: At SDSU Dining, we use the term "Allergen-Friendly" to describe dishes that are free from the top nine major allergens. Our team is dedicated to identifying ingredients that may cause allergic reactions and undergo regular training to ensure accurate labeling and proper food preparation methods to minimize cross-contact risks. Please note, however, that our dining centers are not certified allergy-free or gluten-free, as other items served may contain major allergens. Our self-operated kitchens (UTK, The Garden Restaurant, Faculty-Staff Club, Aztec Markets, SDSU Catering, and Concessions) strive to provide allergen-friendly options. Menu items from our third-party dining partners on campus, however, may have different allergen management practices. We cannot guarantee that these meals are free from allergens or safe from cross-contact.
