BlueGo To-Go Program
In partnership with Butler Student Government Association and the Center for Urban Ecology and Sustainability, Butler Dining is now providing BLUEgos as a safe, environmentally friendly, and convenient to-go option for students, faculty, and staff on campus.
The program minimizes waste produced from the café, helping Butler achieve their sustainability goals as laid out in the Butler University Sustainability and Climate Action Plan (BUSCA), while giving flexibility to those that need a meal on the go.

Food Allergies
Serving Students with Food Allergies and Celiac Disease
The dining services team is well-trained in food allergy awareness and offer a number of options for students with food allergies and celiac disease. This includes communication about and modification to existing menu items, special preparation of menu items, and access to special products as agreed upon with students.
Daily menus for each café can be accessed at butler.cafebonappetit.com. Menu items that are appropriate options for most students with celiac disease are labeled as “made without gluten-containing ingredients” and can be filtered to streamline searching using the dietary preferences filter. A designated toaster for specialty bread products can be accessed by students as needed. Top 9 allergens are included in menu names and/or descriptions whenever possible. In addition, we offer Latitude, a destination in Marketplace at Atherton Union where all meals prepared are made without the use of the top 9 allergens plus gluten. Latitude is a segregated station designed with guest safety in mind and allows Bon Appétit to best manage ingredients from delivery to plate. For more on eating with a food allergy in our café, view the guide on Food Allergies and Celiac Disease at Butler University. Further questions about ingredients can be answered by our trained managers/chefs on-site.

FARECheck Certified
We are committed to the safety of all of our guests! Foodservice staff at Butler University have completed a FARECheck certified food allergen training program. FARECheck is a program that reviews and certifies food allergy training materials. This program was developed by Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) in conjunction with Bon Appétit Management Company.
As a FARECheck certified campus, you can be assured that our in-house allergen training provides evidence-based information on food allergies and best practices for allergy-aware management. Our training covers an array of topics from an overview of food allergies, anaphylaxis, and reducing risk for cross-contact to communication protocols, and emergency response preparedness. All foodservice staff receive allergy awareness training twice per year and understand the importance of keeping food allergies top of mind. For help navigating your food choices on campus, please reach out to a member of our management team.
