Nutritional Needs and Information
The following is a summary of nutrition options and practices, and is applicable to both campuses. Full nutrition and allergen information is available in the Nutritional Info Database.
Allergies / Special Dietary Needs
If you have a medically-related dietary need, such as food allergies or needs associated with Crohns, Celiac or diabetes, please let the Dietitian know by completing "Special Diet Needs Form" in the HaverHealth Portal.
The Dietitian serves as a consultant for menu planning and recipe development, working with the gym and health center to achieve overall student wellness.
If you've ever wondered if something contained nuts, was low in calories, or safe for a vegan to eat, you'll be happy to know that Haverford and Bryn Mawr Dining Services now have nutritional info available for all of their entrees. From calories to allergies, we've got you covered.
