Local food sourcing at UHDS
UHDS dining services is committed to sustainable food sourcing and offers a growing number of locally grown and produced food and organic options.
Local: UHDS has three distinctions for local:
- Regional: Grown, made or processed in Oregon.
- Local Six Counties: For those local items that are grown, made or processed in our nearest six counties that include Benton, Lane, Linn, Lincoln, Marion and Polk, UHDS partners with the First Alternative’s local six program to distinguish those items with the local six icon.
- Campus Made: Grown, developed or processed at Oregon State University.
Organic: UHDS follows USDA standards when labeling or identifying foods as organic. Organic foods are produced without the use of irradiation, synthetic fertilizers, prohibited pesticides, and genetically modified organisms. Producers meet animal health and welfare standards, did not use antibiotics or growth hormones, used 100% organic feed, and animals are provided with access to the outdoors. For multi-ingredient foods, 95% or more of the ingredients must be certified organic.
Natural: Since the FDA has not developed a standard for natural, UHDS defines natural foods as not containing added color, artificial flavors, preservatives, synthetic substances (high fructose corn syrup), growth hormones or antibiotics.
Fair Trade Certified: Fair trade certified products are socially and environmentally sustainable.
See a list of local options served in UHDS dining centers.
