based on their knowledge of food allergies, food intolerances and celiac disease.
They must also have food industry and teaching experience.
Allertrain’s certified teaching programs will enable Sullivan to keep SU Food
Services staff up-to-date on all the latest food allergy, celiac disease, food intol-
erances and food sensitivity information. To date, she has taught more than 200
Food Services staff members, and they have become certified in identifying food

Cortland Hosts Dark Chocolate Meditation

s part of SUNY Cortland’s Wellness Wednesday series, Auxiliary Services
ACorporation (ASC) Nutritionist Andrea Hart recently hosted a “Dark Choco-
late Meditation.”
Hart discussed how nutrition and stress are related and gave tips on what foods
to eat to help reduce stress and tips on mindful eating. She also explained the health
benefits of eating dark chocolate.
Hart began the meditation by having everyone relax and take deep breaths. She
then gave instructions on how to eat chocolate in a relaxed and calm manner, while
at the same time detecting the flavor, texture and smell of chocolate. After eating
the chocolate, students commented on how good it tasted because they focused on
the taste and scent by eating it
more slowly than usual. Show Schedule
