Eat Well
Currently, more than 64% of Yale Hospitality’s tomato purchases come from vendors sourcing directly from Fair Food Program–affiliated growers, and we are actively working to increase that number by the end of the fiscal year.
Yale Hospitality is committed to ethical sourcing practices that reflect our values and strengthen the integrity of our supply chain.
We expect all suppliers to uphold fair and lawful labor standards, ensuring full compliance with local and federal regulations.
Our partners must foster a respectful and inclusive workplace where employees are treated with dignity and empowered to contribute their diverse perspectives.
We also require adherence to all state and local environmental laws, including the responsible handling of hazardous materials, to minimize environmental impact.
Additionally, suppliers must comply with all applicable import and export regulations to ensure transparency and accountability throughout theprocurement process.
Through these expectations, we aim to support a sourcing ecosystem that is safe, responsible, and aligned with Yale’s mission and values.
Our Philosophy
Our menus are designed to nourish the diverse community of the Yale student body and support our continuing commitment to human and environmental health, serving food that is better for you and better for the planet.
We label for the nine major food allergens - including sesame - and more!
Safety is a top priority for students with food allergies. Our team works to ensure that everyone can experience the variety we are proud to offer throughout our responsibly-sourced, healthy, and delicious menus.
Our dietitians are part of the core team that designs our menu architecture and ensures that students have access to healthy, nutritious and allergen-friendly meals across campus. Sarah works collaboratively with dietitians at Yale Health Plan and Student Accessibility Services to broadly support the needs of Yale’s students.
Sourcing & Sustainability
We develop and support cooperative relationships with a broad range of regional growers and partners to source an array of quality and responsibly sourced ingredients.
