Passover Style Options in Campus Dining
During Passover, Friday April 15 (Sundown) 鈥 Saturday April 23 (Sundown) Campus Dining will provide options for community members observing the holiday. We do not have a kosher kitchen, but we do prepare selected menu items 鈥淧assover Style鈥 (P). We follow these guidelines:
No grains of any kind. Grains include wheat, rice, oats, quinoa, bulgar, kashi, etc.
路No corn, beans, soy, peanuts; no oils or sauces made from any of these products.
路No thickening or leavening agents, such as flour, corn starch, arrowroot, yeast, baking powder, soda.
路No pork or shellfish.
路Meat or poultry are not mixed with dairy products.
路No distilled vinegar or red wine vinegar; no mustard.
路If Passover style items are prepared with oil, OLIVE OIL is used. If we need to fry an item, we use Cottonseed oil.
路Utensils and grills are cleaned before preparing Passover style items, and separate utensils are used for serving them.
