For Your Health
Being well and eating well means becoming aware of choices and making the right decisions to achieve a better today and a better tomorrow. Your Sodexo dining team is committed to offering you a wide range of options for a healthy dining experience. From recipes that include the most nutritious mix of ingredients to offering educational resources for positive lifestyle habits, healthy options are the result of a team dedicated to advancing the well-being of the entire campus community.
Another important part of our focus on health and wellness is the use of seasonal menus, featuring fresh and healthy ingredients - many of which are grown by local or regional farmers. Every season has its own unique produce that is showcased in delicious signature dishes to highlight the distinct flavors and natural appeal of seasonal items.
For students who have special dietary and nutritional needs we have informational resources and customized menus to address your needs. These menus meet the strictest compliance standards, without sacrificing flavor, texture or presentation.
Sodexo's nutrition icons make it easy to identify healthy choices
Look for these nutrition icons on the foods being served on your campus to help you meet your dietary needs or desires. If you need assistance finding the right types of foods for you, please reach out to your on-campus Sodexo manager or chef. If you have additional dietary questions, please contact us so we can help! Sodexo has registered dieticians ready to answer your questions and help you make healthy choices.
Students with Dietary Restrictions
- You should begin by contacting Bill Masullo (wmasull@linfield.edu) or Jason Briles (jbriles@linfield.edu). They are the Sodexo dining services managers at Linfield (Sodexo is the company that handles all of Linfield's food services). Bill and Jason will work with you to figure out how your dietary needs can be best accommodated.
- If, after working with Bill and Jason, you feel that the meal plan option you are currently on is not working for you, you can contact Brad Sinn (bsinn@linfield.edu), director of Facilities Services. He will help you determine the next course of action.
- Though rare, students with extremely sensitive or complex food allergies and intolerances may not be able to be adequately accommodated. If you have given everything else a try and things are still not working for you, you can obtain a meal plan exemption form from the Office of Residence Life (located in Melrose Hall). Students who live in the residence halls must be on a meal plan. If a student can not be on any meal plan, then the option is for the student to find off-campus housing and cook on their own.
- If you do not have a regular healthcare provider with whom you can discuss whether you should remain on a meal plan, you can meet with a nurse practitioner at Linfield's Student Health Center.
