All campus dining halls provide students with access to self-serve Gluten-Free Friendly Pantries designed for individuals with celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity or gluten intolerance. The pantry offers a selection of gluten-free breads, cereals, oats, snack foods, a dedicated gluten-free toaster, and a small preparation area. 

Dining Hall Gluten Free Friendly Pantries are not certified gluten-free/allergen-free spaces. Please be mindful, especially in any self-serve areas, of the risk of cross-contamination with gluten and other allergens.  

Leonard and Jean Royce pantries have controlled access with your residence key. All residence students who have completed a Food Allergy and Dietary Need form and identified celiac disease or gluten intolerance will automatically be provided with access.

Lost key/FOB?

Immediately report a lost key/FOB for the Gluten Free Pantry to the Registered Dietitian (dietitian@queensu.ca). Lost residence room/building FOB and/or a room change will require separate action to restore access to the Gluten Free Pantries, in addition to standard Residence policies for lost keys/room change. The Registered Dietitian will facilitate necessary arrangements with the Residence Facilities Control Centre to restore access to the Gluten Free Panty, between Monday-Friday 8:30am-4:00pm.

Please note, changes and/or set up of access may take 1 to 3 business days to process. Where there may be delays, students with prior access can self-identify to a cashier at Leonard or Jean Royce dining hall, who will manually confirm eligible access.

If you have questions or concerns about accessing the pantry, email dietitian@queensu.ca.
