    Tufts Dining Center Goes Totally Nut-Free and Gluten-Free

    Celiac.com 10/12/2021 - The Carmichael Dining Center at Tufts University in Massachusetts is now known as Fresh at Carmichael, and features a new menu that is peanut-free, tree nut-free and gluten-free to offer nutritious food options for students with allergies or sensitivities to those foods. 

    In addition to its allergen-friendly menu, Fresh at Carmichael plans to add a take-out option that will make it easier for students to pre-order and pick-up food, thus reducing wait times.

    Just one of two all-you-care-to-eat on campus, Fresh at Carmichael presents itself as a standard meal option rather than as some sort of restricted menu outlet, says Patti Klos, director of dining & business services.

    “We try to make it interesting and a fresh approach with a fresh new menu without emphasizing that you can’t get gluten when you go there,” she says. 

    While Fresh at Carmichael offers plenty of free-from foods, the focus is on flavor. "[W]e want to lead with flavor and deliciousness. We want to say, ‘Here’s exciting food’" that happens to be free from tree nuts, peanuts and gluten.

    For now, Fresh at Carmichael is focusing only on foods free of tree nuts, peanuts and gluten, but not other food allergens. Still, that's a major step forward for students with these food sensitivities, and likely a direction more venues will follow. In the future, look to see more campus dining facilities dedicated to serving students with food allergies and sensitivities.
