Make the staff more knowledgeable on allergens/dietary requirements!
Category: Catering
So many of the staff at GCU catering are not aware of the allergens and are always hesitant to go and double check with the chef. I do not know why the food is not labelled with any of the major allergens surely this should be a priority!
There are many students who are vegan, plant-based, food intolerances or halal. Glasgow is such a diverse community and GCU should be proud of this and support them.
All students at Glasgow Caledonian University are automatically members of GCU Students' Association.
This membership is free for current GCU students.

Totally agree. I have coeliac disease so I can’t have gluten . Due to the options I bring my lunch but occasionally if I do buy anything then it’s only a baked potato but they should really have allergen labels for everyone. And some more gluten free options (and other requirements/preferences). In the past I haven’t found the staff to be very friendly or knowledgeable when I asked about options so I gave up as it just feels awkward.
I am trying to like it, but system is not registering my vote( I also often have this problem with the canteen/bar staff, I have many intolerances and during some occasions I have been told that soup was diary and gluten free but when I came in the next time they said it has both (same type of soup btw). Actually it’s very annoying because I unfortunately got symptoms after eating food containing gluten and dairy and it’s affected my studying.
