SNAP's Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Our dining halls are not allergen-free. However, all our staff do receive ongoing food safety training, including allergen procedures and avoiding cross-contamination.
Any time you order food, it is your responsibility to identify any allergies to the staff to ensure the right measures are taken to prevent cross-contamination. We remind all students with allergies to ask if they are ever unsure whether the food is safe to eat. Our staff is friendly and always happy to help!
If you have other questions regarding navigating dietary restrictions or allergies while on campus, please get in touch with SNAP at snap@uoguelph.ca, or send a message on our Instagram, Facebook, or Snapchat
