Food and Box Ingredients

Boxes, plates, and utensils are made of sustainable, compostable materials.
• Halal, gluten-friendly and vegetarian options are available upon request for an additional $5/box. 
• We cannot guarantee food is allergen-free, as cross-contamination may exist in the facilities where some of the picnic foods are prepared. Please contact The Party People Catering Co., at info@partypeoplecaters.ca for dietary restrictions outside of the halal, gluten-friendly and vegetarian boxes.
• For all other questions, please reach out to the Guest Experience Team at uabg.info@ualberta.ca
