Starting this school year, the University of Notre Dame’s Campus Dining pioneered a new approach to allergen-free meals: The Olive Kitchen. The Olive Kitchen represents our newest step forward in that commitment — a dedicated allergen-free kitchen designed to provide nourishment for students with specific dietary needs,” he said. The Olive Kitchen makes meals for students with food allergies which are free from cross-contamination. The Olive Kitchen is meant to serve equitable meals to all groups of Notre Dame students. “We see The Olive Kitchen as an important extension of our holistic approach to caring for the Notre Dame family,” Alberganti said.
