Catering
Kosher Policy
No biblically prohibited foods, including pork or shellfish may be brought in or served on CRS property. Items obviously containing meat or dairy may not be served during the same course of a multi-course meal. Single course meals (e.g., buffets) may either have meat or dairy products served, but not both. Meat served may be, but does not have to be, kosher.
Nut Policy
