NetNutrition for Informed Campus Dining

NetNutrition is a tool to help you make informed food choices in campus dining rooms by providing nutritional information, allergen screening, and vegan/vegetarian filtering.

Building Meals

Accessing Menus

  • Menus are available for most dining rooms up to seven days in advance.

  • Select your desired dining room, date, and meal to start.

Building Your Meal

  1. Choose an Item: Click on the menu item you want.
  2. Select Portion Size: Use the drop-down menu to specify the number of portions. Click “Add to my meal.”
  3. View Nutrition Info: To see nutrient values and ingredients before adding, click “Item Nutrition” at the top.

Screening

Allergy Screening

NetNutrition can help manage food allergies. For severe allergies, contact the dining location’s management team or email dining@smith.edu.

  1. Select Allergens: On the right side of the menu, check the box next to the allergen(s) you want to exclude.
  2. Apply Filter: Click “Apply Filters.” The menu will now only show items free of the selected allergen(s).

Vegetarian & Vegan Screening

Filter menus based on vegan or vegetarian preferences. Use these filters with allergy filters for combined screening.

  • Vegetarian: Check both “Vegan” and “Vegetarian” to see vegetarian items that may contain milk, eggs, cheese, etc.
  • Vegan: Check only “Vegan” for items free of all animal products.

Nutrient information is based on standardized recipes and product labels. It’s an estimate and can vary due to factors like soil quality, preparation methods, and manufacturer changes. Portion sizes can also affect the final analysis.
