Allergy Information

Penn College Dining Services strives to provide each of our guests with accurate information on potential food allergens. These allergens include: eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, sesame seeds, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat. It is important to note:

  • Our menu items may contain, or may have come in contact with, potential allergens.
  • Dining Services does not have allergen-free or gluten-free kitchens, but concentrated efforts are made to try to eliminate cross contact. "Gluten-friendly" refers to an item that is gluten free, however, is prepared in an environment that may contain gluten.
  • Food manufacturers may change their product formulation or manner of processing without our knowledge. Because of the potential for substitute ingredients, with or without our knowledge, we cannot guarantee our products are completely free of any potential allergens.
  • Penn College will assume no liability for reactions to food/beverages consumed at any dining facility.
  • Any guest who dines with us is encouraged to contact one of our managers to make sure there is a clear understanding of their needs. Guests may consult a member of the Dining Services management team for additional assistance or email questions to dining@pct.edu.
  • Students with allergies who anticipate needing any type of accommodation, should complete the self-disclosure form and submit documentation to Disability Services to initiate the process. Please review the documentation guidelines to determine the appropriate documentation needed. If you have questions, please contact Disability & Access Services at dar@pct.edu or at 570-320-5225 or TTY: 570-321-5528, in advance of your participation or visit.
