Student food insecurity and hunger
The university employs several measures to ensure the safety, transparency, and nutritional value of its campus food, while also monitoring the health of students.
■ Restaurant and Food Safety Monitoring: The university’s Catering Management Committee oversees food safety and the quality of the dining environment. All on-campus catering providers are required to comply with Taiwanese laws, specifically by uploading ingredient source and quantity data to the Campus Food Ingredients Registration Platform. Furthermore, finished food products and ice from these providers are subject to periodic inspection, with the results publicly disclosed.
■ Nutritional Transparency: Catering providers on both campuses must display calorie and nutrition values on their menus. Additionally, the university publishes comprehensive nutrition information for all campus providers on its official website for general reference.
■ Malnutrition Risk Reduction: To monitor and reduce the risk of malnutrition, health checkups are conducted for new students before enrollment to identify individuals who may require specific health and nutrition care.
