Gluten Free Eats at the University of New England

Location: Dining Hall in Ripich Commons

The designated gluten free menu is referred to as, Inspired Eats. The university sends out a weekly menu of the meals that will be served in the dining hall every day. The Inspired Eats section is guaranteed to be allergen and gluten free. Other options on the menu are most likely gluten free, but not guaranteed to be cooked in a clean and uncontaminated area like Inspired Eats.
