Spring 2021 Changes

There have been many updates to dining operations and locations for the Spring 2021 semester. View all the changes.

Healthy Options
 

All RIT Dining locations offer a variety of fresh and healthy food options that accommodate and support healthy living on campus. In addition, our skilled staff incorporates a wide range of healthy preparation, production, and cooking techniques that substitute unhealthier food items with healthier options.

Our campus is home to a hydroponic farm, housed in a shipping container, that produces 10-15% of the produce used on campus. The farm grows a variety of herbs and lettuces used at RIT Dining locations. When available, we also use fresh produce supplied by local, regional farmers.

Here's a look at some of the healthy options available in all dining locations:

  • Vegetarian entrees and soups using tofu, meat substitutes, grains, legumes, and/or all vegetables
  • Whole grain and low carbohydrate bread
  • Rice, soy, and almond milk
  • Lactaid 100% lactose free non-fat milk
  • Hummus
  • Light dressing alternatives
  • Greek and low fat yogurt
  • 97% fat free turkey
  • Egg whites
  • Low-fat and fat-free dairy products
  • Sushi
  • Canola, olive oil, and zero trans fat blended oils
  • Trans fat-free oil for frying

 

Tiger Choice

Each dining location offers a variety of healthier options, as well as vegan and vegetarian options. These items meet the following requirements:

  • Under 600 calories
  • 0 trans fat
  • Less than 5g of saturated fat
  • Less than 800mg of sodium
  • Contains no high fructose corn syrup
  • Prepared without frying

 

Be on the lookout for our Tiger Choice icon. Educate yourself further on our nutrition labeling system.
