Percentage of total dining services food purchases comprised of conventionally produced animal products:
A brief description of the methodology used to track/inventory expenditures on animal products:
Per discussion with the Dining Director, the majority of the animal products is likely not sustainable. However, we purchase from Red Barn Dairy which is Humanely Certified. We also purchase some local chicken and beef, although not third party verified it is verified by the institution to be both ecologically sound and humane through a relationship with a local producer. The CPS Cafe purchases locally grown and processed, free range and organic meat. All milk and shelled eggs are cage free.
Does the institution offer diverse, complete-protein vegan dining options at all meals in at least one dining facility on campus?:
Does the institution provide labels and/or signage that distinguishes between vegan, vegetarian (not vegan), and other items?:
Are the vegan options accessible to all members of the campus community?:
A brief description of the vegan dining program, including availability, sample menus, signage and any promotional activities (e.g. “Meatless Mondays”):
The CPS Cafe offers protein complete vegan offerings daily, but is not open for supper.
We have every day vegan choices. The menu items are integrated into the cycle menu. Items are designated by stickers for Vegetarian, and vegan recipes are available in a binder by the service area.
Debot Dining offers vegan offerings at each meal. The NetNutrition program is an online program that consumers can search for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free options being served and allergy information. There is currently a vegan dining (student) team working with management to update the vegan rotational menu.
A brief description of other efforts the institution has made to reduce the impact of its animal-derived food purchases:
The CPS Café mission is to promote a sustainable food culture. We participate in numerous farm to fork community promotions including Farmshed activities and the MREA. The café also conducts written promotions, places ads in the local food atlas and city Pages (furthering the mission). We consider every meal service and educational opportunity for our customers and students. We purchase products from local farmers and selectively purchase from sustainable farms when absolutely necessary.
