Jack In The Box

Updated 2018! Jack In The Box is a U.S. fast-food chain known for burgers and Americanized International cuisine. They have over 2000 restaurants with a heavy concentration of locations on the West Coast. The ingredients that they use for their menu items are a bit convoluted, so it might be best to stick with the “already dairy free” items like the ones listed here rather than trying to special order. Nonetheless, we’ve included some breakdowns for their protein and bread options.

Other Allergen Notes: Special ordering Jack in the Box burgers or sandwiches for dairy-free needs can be tricky. In many cases, just omitting the cheese won’t cover all of the dairy issues. Even most of their cooked vegetables are prepared with a butter flavored vegetable oil that contains milk. But we’ve broken out some of the protein and bread components to help you out. Soy-free and wheat-free (they do not specifically note gluten-free) options are very limited at Jack In The Box, and mostly include select salads and sides. We are assuming that they use a shared fryer for all fried menu items, so fried items might be at risk for potential allergen cross-contamination. Also, their Ingredient & Allergen Information lists some of their tacos as made without milk, but the Allergen Reference Guide lists them as containing milk. So use caution, and as always, inquire before ordering.
