The Stress-Less Pantry in The Commons

The Stress Less Pantry is a dedicated space designed for guests with a medical need for gluten-friendly and allergy-friendly food options. Here, you will find options carefully curated to complement typical dining hall offerings rather than replace them entirely. Most items are individually wrapped by the manufacturer and may omit some of the 9 major allergens. Our primary focus is on eliminating the risk of cross-contact with gluten (wheat, barley, rye), peanuts, and tree nuts within this space. While our program is specifically tailored to exclude gluten, peanuts, and tree nuts, many of the approved products also avoid other common allergens. However, we always recommend that guests carefully review product labels before enjoying items from The Stress-Less Pantry.
