Crustacean shellfish, for instance, is unavailable at Chick-fil-A, Tossed, The Caf\u00e9, and our Grab n\u2019 Go locations. It is very rarely served in the dining hall (also known as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedarville.edu\/offices\/the-commons\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">The Commons<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">) and is only in one dish at Panda Express.\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">How to Spot (or Avoid) Fish in Cedarville\u2019s Dining Options<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The same can be said for fish, as fish is a rare commodity on a Midwestern college campus.

The occasional dessert in the dining hall will have peanuts or tree nuts, but anything with these allergens has proper labeling.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Almond milk is also available in a special allergen-aware fridge at the breakfast station for those with dairy intolerances.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Panda Express has a couple of dishes, Kung Pao Chicken and Honey Walnut Shrimp, that have peanuts and tree nuts.

Chick-fil-A is similar, though their fries and grilled nuggets are safe.
