The Stress-Less Pantry Access - Tulane Hospitality

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.

The Stress-Less Pantry can only be accessed with an approved Splash Card. To apply for access:

Step 1: Have an approved Medical Provider fill out the Health Care Provider Assessment Form. Medical documentation must be in accordance to Tulane Hospitality's Guidelines for Documentation listed on the last page of the form.

Step 2: Complete the application. You will be prompted to upload your completed Health Care Provider Assessment Form to a HIPAA compliant Drop Box at the end of the application. Please make sure to go back to the application to push submit after uploading your documentation.

Step 3: The Dining Plan Petition Committee will review your request for access and approve appropriate diagnosed dietary need. You will be notified when a decision is made.

Step 4: Before access is added, students must watch the training video, and complete and sign The Stress Less Pantry Contract.
