We treat each situation uniquely; we understand that there are many variables that affect a person’s tolerance to different foods, particularly in a situation where dietary restrictions are due to health conditions or allergies. We are constantly working to increase the diversity of food options on campus to ensure we can accommodate the widest range of dietary restrictions. Students with allergies and other dietary requirements must follow the steps listed on our website: http://www.utm.utoronto.ca/hospitality/SMP/dietary-requirements
