Yes
updated about 7 years ago by Laureen van Breen

Vegan options are available throughout UM Dining facilities, diners may use the MyNutrition tool to find vegan options.

 

MyNutrition is an online tool that can help you make smart, healthy choices in Michigan's residential dining halls. Use it to:

•Select well-balanced meals

•See how your food choices measure up nutritionally

•Screen dining hall offerings for allergens

 

Special icons are used to denote menu items that qualify as vegetarian, vegan, MHealthy, Halal, or gluten-free. You'll find a key at the top of each MyNutrition page. They are also listed in the lower right corner of each meal planning page. Once you make your choice, only menu items that meet the criteria will be displayed.

 

More than 30 Michigan farmers and suppliers provide the University with fruits, vegetables, honey and more. All of our milk comes from Michigan dairy farms located within 100 miles of campus. Our milk contains no genetically engineered hormones (rBST and rBGH) and is processed at the famer-owned Prairie Farms dairy plant in Battle Creek. Most of the meat served at East Quad is supplied by farms less than 250 miles from Ann Arbor.

 

Sustainable Seafood

As part of our seafood program, we’re partnering with an innovative, family-run company called Sea ToTable. Sea to Table pairs small-scale, sustainable wild fisheries with people who want to buy fresh seafood. We’re also the first Big Ten university to gain Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Chain of Custody certification. MSC is a global, non-profit organization that promotes sustainable fisheries and responsible fishing practices worldwide.
