and service in eight coffee shops, Union Street Market Food

UConn’s Web-Nutritional Analysis
Dining Services offers a web-based nutritional analysis of food
served in all of the dining units and retail operations. The menus
reflect real-time current menus that will be served on a particular
day and are available for viewing up to 7 days in advance. Any
changes made to the menus are updated immediately.
