All chicken and ground beef in KCECH is halal. All dining halls have a variety of vegetarian and vegan options. Halal options can also be found at Houston Market using Dining Dollars, PennCash, cash, credit, and through the Meal Exchange program, which accepts meal swipes during normal hours of operations. Gourmet Grocer also stocks a range of halal grocery items and frozen entrées.
