Nutritious picks from campus markets
What is the Dietitian's Choice Program?
Our markets offer a variety of food and beverage items. Our Dietitian's Choice program helps students and guests navigate the variety to easily find the better, more nutritious choice. Shoppers should look for the Dietitian's Choice icon on shelves and can easily find our featured products.
Currently in a pilot phase, look for Dietitian's Choice shelf tags in Market East.
