Food Allergy-Kitchen in University Dining Halls ASU 10000 Solutions

Food Allergies are on the rise, with 9 million adults and 6 million children affected. Ninety percent of all reactions are to milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, fish and shellfish: all very common ingredients. Eating in the dining halls is extremely challenging, and I've resorted to eating the same things every time. Not only that, but I have suffered from reactions to food in the dining hall due to cross contamination issues, or misinformed information by the servers. My solution to this growing challenge is to offer allergy-free kitchens in the dining halls at ASU and other Universities across the U.S. Several colleges have done this, with positive results. ASU and other schools would profit from this solution, and more students will be able to buy meal plans and benefit from a safer and more diverse dining experience on campus.
