Policies and Risk Management

University Food Policy

For Campus Food Policies, visit the IUPUI Food Service website.

IUPUI Food Service is the exclusive campus food provider. This is a geographic exclusivity and applies to all IU buildings and grounds generally located between West Street on the east, White River on the south and west and Indiana Avenue on the north. Payment by an IU Foundation account is not an exception and this exclusivity applies equally to all users of university buildings (i.e., non-university groups renting space or scheduling events in university buildings). Additionally, Indiana University has a system-wide contract with Coca Cola and only Coke products can be sold or advertised on any IU campus.

Food fundraisers are an important source of revenue for students groups. The sale of food to raise funds — and the applicable Board of Health regulations — has been formalized in the IUPUI Food Safety Policy. This Policy can be found on The Office of Student Involvement, Environmental Health & Safety, and IUPUI Food Service websites. This Food Safety Policy was developed specifically to address food fundraisers and the safe handling of food. Briefly, the policy requires adherence to safe food practices, limits fundraising to pre-set dates throughout each semester (dates are set by OSI and listed on the OSI website), and allows the fundraising organization to avoid the collection of sales tax. As long as this Food Safety Policy is followed, it is not a requirement that food be purchased (to be resold for fundraising purposes) from IUPUI Food Service. For other exception, visit Campus Food Policies.

By following the IUPUI food policy it will reduce the risk of any mishaps that may occur as a result of food poisoning, catering, billing, etc.
