Food

The Studierendenwerk Freiburg runs 11 canteens and 9 cafeterias. During the lecture period, over 10,000 meals are prepared every day.
In the canteens, there is something to suit every taste and budget, from quick plates to set menus. You also have a free choice at the pasta and wok buffets in all the large canteens and can put together your own meal.

We take special requests into account. For example, all vegan and vegetarian dishes are marked on our website menus, as are dishes that are also available in vegan versions. All dishes are labeled according to ingredients. The star shows you how you can give your rating at the rating terminal. All our canteens and cafeterias have been certified organic since 2021. For example, we offer organic coffee and organic drinking chocolate, to name just a few. We are constantly increasing the use of organic components.

By the way: children under ten years of age of students get an additional free children's plate to their parents' meal.
 

Quality control

Regular TÜV-Tests and implementation of health laws ensure a high quality food standard including ingredients and preparation. Independent regulators and certifiers regularly control our gastronomic facilities. Student Services Freiburg co-operates with Student Services Südwest in a purchasing co-operative. Eight Student Services in Baden-Württemberg as well as Kaiserlautern, Trier and Saarland are involved in the co-operation. The co-operation’s purchasing power is very influential and maintains development and implementation
of our quality standards. Our common goal is sustainability and is reached through our influential co-operation. Only organic fair trade coffee is served in the co-operation’s cafeterias. Other products are also regulated for example; ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard do not contain artificial sweeteners or preservatives.  We source chiefly local produce
