A brief description of each certified dining hall or food service outlet, including the year the certification was achieved and/or renewed:
Cornell began achieving the Food Recovery Network certification in April 2014 at Becker House, an All You Care To Eat dining room for House residents as well as the whole Cornell community, and Robert Purcell Marketplace Eatery, an All You Care To Eat dining room in the Robert Purcell Community Center.
In August of 2012, Cornell became the first Ivy League school to be certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) for its use of sustainable seafood in its dining halls. The Robert Purcell Marketplace Eatery and the Keeton House Dining Room, both all-you-can-eat facilities, serve sustainably certified seafood; Cornell Dining plans to expand the program to all campus dining outlets.
