Nazareth University has set forth the following policies/procedures
pertaining to food distribution by anyone (including food trucks) other
than our on-campus dining vendor, Naz Dining.
General Guidelines
The Universities food service provider, Naz Dining, has been contracted to
provide exclusive catering services to Nazareth College. Unless specific
approval is obtained in advance from Naz Dining, no other food vendors
or food products may be sold or distributed on the Nazareth University
campus.
- Food brought in from home for general public distribution/sale is absolutely prohibited.
- Individually pre-wrapped food items from an approved facility (a
commercial/retail establishment or a restaurant with a Monroe County
Health Permit) are always ok for meetings and distribution as long as
they remain pre-wrapped. This includes pizza, subs, etc.
- Any off-campus Caterer is required to fill out a facility use
agreement and provide insurance/ Workers’ Compensation and Employers’
Liability along with an approved Food/Catering Waiver Form.
- Any off-campus restaurant providing and serving food to be
consumed/distributed/sold to the Nazareth campus must also have the word
“Catering” listed on its health certificate (usually hangs on the wall
of the restaurant), e.g., Outback Restaurant and Catering Company.
Again, you are required to obtain an authorized and approved
Food/Catering Waiver Form.
- If you are purchasing items (take-out) from an area restaurant to be
consumed immediately by a set group of individuals such as at the
Residence Halls, Office Party, Club Meeting), you are required to obtain
an authorized and approved Food/Catering Waiver Form.
- It is imperative that food brought on campus according to the
guidelines above be kept at acceptable temperatures in accordance with
safe-handling guidelines. In other words, cold foods must be kept
refrigerated and hot items must be kept at minimally safe temperatures
for hot items.
- Any catered event on campus that is not provided by Naz Dining is carry-in/carry-out for all waste.
