How do I know what's in my food?

Whether your dietary and allergen concerns are by choice or necessity, you deserve easily accessible information about what's in your food! The Virginia Tech Online Menus database from Dining Services is an incredible resource that offers up to date info about ingredients, allergens, caloric info, and other nutritional data from all dining halls. This is the reference point for data published in this guide, the exception being a few contracted dining centers whose external menus are linked.

While Virginia Tech does a good job of offering a variety of foods to accommodate different diets, their labeling could be a little more clear-cut. If you are looking to follow a plant-based diet on campus, it's absolutely possible but to really thrive may take some research and familiarization. Once you understand the basic menus and items available to you, it can be super easy to eat a varied, exciting, and balanced plant-based diet through VT's Dining Services!
