The dining team consults individually with students whom have food allergies to minimize allergic reactions. Please be advised that our menu items may contain allergens, may have come in contact with items containing allergens, and there is always a risk of contamination or cross-contamination. There is also a possibility that manufacturers of the commercial food we use could change the formulation or substitute at any time, without notice.
Customers concerned with food allergies need to be aware of this risk. CCSD 181 will not assume any liability for adverse reactions to foods consumed, or items one may come in contact with while eating at CCSD 181.
