We are passionate about food and we believe in wholesome, nutritious ingredients. That is why we are committed to using items that are healthier for both our bodies and the planet.

At USF Dining, we provide the communities with fresh, high quality food, exceptional responsiveness and intensely personal service. By purchasing with the following standards in mind, and preparing items so that they are as fresh as possible when served, we support local agriculture, increase nutrition, and intensify flavor.

Writing menus that feature seasonal and regionally available ingredients. 

3.

Using trans-fat free oils, including non-GMO soy oil, that are produced in a green facility in Michigan.

4.

Sourcing from local farmers and small producers, and by participating in year-round, community sourced agriculture (CSA) programs.

5.

Serving produce that is fresh, fresh frozen or packed in 100% juice or water.

6.

Only serve proteins that are USDA certified.

7.

Purchasing sustainable seafood that follows the Marine Stewardship Council’s guidelines and recommendations.

Never using MSG.
