Food Safety Policy

For the full Food Distribution Policy, please see the Student Organization Handbook. Below are a few common highlights:

• DO NOT PREPARE ANY FOOD AT HOME (includes residence halls) - Home-prepared food is strictly prohibited. Please note this also includes food prepared in residence halls.
• Food must be individually wrapped and served in a grab n’ go format, purchased, or donated by a preferred vendor.
• Only store-bought items may be sold/distributed. Student organizations may not purchase bottled water (including gallon size or larger) with either SAF or private revenue funds, and reimbursement will not be afforded for purchase of bottled water. Organizations are encouraged to contact LUC Catering (https://www.luc.edu/catering/index.shtml) to secure water for on-campus events.
• All baked goods must be from a preferred vendor and must be portioned out for single servings and must be pre-packaged and individually wrapped, to be served in a grab n’ go format.
• Need to add a restaurant to the Preferred Vendors list? Contact CSE at activities@luc.edu!
• No eating, drinking, or smoking is allowed while engaged in food handling. Wash hands after eating, drinking, or smoking before resuming food handling.
• All food transported must always be protected from contamination with the use of food shields, covers, keep off the ground, etc.
• Current Loyola students must be the individuals responsible for the distribution of the food items to the general student population.
