  • Shellfish (such as crab, lobster, shrimp)

Johnson County Community College is committed to providing a safe and pleasant dining experience for our customers. We understand that our customers know best. They understand their individual food allergy and are best able to determine what they should eat or avoid.

However, the ingredients and nutritional content of food items served at various campus locations may vary. In addition, manufacturers may change their product formulation or consistency of ingredients without our knowledge and the availability of products can fluctuate. We will make every effort to identify ingredients but we cannot assure for these contingencies.

Please note that is ultimately YOUR responsibility to determine whether to question the ingredients or consume selected foods. JCCC Dining Services cannot guarantee the safety of students with life-threatening allergies.
