Recognizing that the right to nutrition and the right to health are fundamental human rights, KTU has prepared a registration form to identify students with celiac disease in order to facilitate access to gluten-free foods. Based on feedback received, efforts have commenced to stock gluten-free products in canteens/cafeterias and vending machines, and to include gluten-free menus in university dining halls. Provision of gluten-free meal service in university dining halls is planned within the 2023–2024 academic year.

Pursuant to a Rectorate decision, QR code boards displaying up-to-date product prices have been placed in all canteens, cafés, and restaurants operating within the university. These boards are positioned in areas easily visible to users, enabling real-time access to current price lists via QR codes.
The initiative enhances transparency and accountability regarding pricing and service quality. The QR codes also direct users to a brief survey where they can evaluate the service they received, thereby conveying satisfaction and suggestions directly to university administration.
