Muhlenberg College
OP-7: Low Impact Dining

All of our invoices from the purchase of foods is coded by the type of product purchased. We categorize our food purchases into the following: Baked Goods, Produce, Grocery, Beverage, Milk & Ice Cream and Meat Eggs & Cheese. From these categories, we can then drill down to specific items to track expenditures.

Muhlenberg College offers diverse, complete-protein vegan and vegetarian dining options during every meal. Currently vegetarian options are incorporated into all our campus restaurants on a daily basis. Vegan options are available, however, there is no daily featured menu item under this category. With the new facility and resources, a vegan station or dish can be incorporated into each meal period. The salad bar is able to hold more variety and recognize these vegan options.

• Muhlenberg does offer complete-protein vegan options at all meals in our main dining hall. We ensure that all customers can always fulfill their dietary needs through broccoli and our locally sourced tofu, and other offerings at the salad bar, edamame at Croutons, and through a variety of other vegan and vegetarian meal offerings. • Muhlenberg does provide labels that distinguish between vegan and vegetarian. Above each of our stations in the main dining hall, there is a screen that lists what foods are being offered there. Next to each dish’s name, there is either no label, signifying the current offerings are neither vegan nor vegetarian, an orange “V”, signifying it is vegetarian, or a green “VG”, meaning it’s vegan. The information concerning these labels can be found here: http://dining.muhlenberg.edu/nutrition.html • Vegan options are accessible to all members of the campus community. • In our main dining hall, we offer vegan options daily at the salad bar and at the Wild Fire Grille as well as at the Nosheries. Though you can order a variety of foods at the Wildfire Grille, grilled vegetables are always an option there for lunch and dinner. Depending on what the menu is on a given day, there could be vegan options at other stations as well. For example, looking at the lunch menu for Monday, December 8th 2014, the vegan options at other stations include: o Magellan’s: Orzo with eggplant and red pepper, summer squash, and fresh cauliflower. o Mangia Mangia: Fra Diavolo sauce and basil marinara sauce to accompany fresh house-made pasta. o Croutons: Apple walnut and wild rice salad and Tuscan chopped salad, balsamic vinegar, tabbouleh salad, hummus and edamame.
