Dairy-Free Menu Guide to Boston Market (with Gluten-Free Options)
A little known secret about Boston Market: All of their staple sauces are dairy-free, including their gravies! This doesn’t include their salad dressings or limited time offers, but still, this opens up a lot of options. That said, some of their limited time menu items might also be dairy-free. They don’t publicly list allergen information and ingredients for short term offers, but you can ask in store.
Boston Market isn’t an ideal restaurant for vegans, but they do offer a lot of dairy-free and gluten-free options. So we’ve labeled the gluten-free items below.

If you see kosher symbol (there are plenty) with a D next to it, it is dairy even if the govt says non-dairy. Now DE means dairy equipment . Now no small letter near the kosher symbol means parve (dairy free). Small P is passover. The FDA and USDA has updates. I am sure Canada has them also in French and English.
My son have milk allergy, Boston market chicken i buy for him, I bought half chicken, rice and string ban for him yesterday, He got allergy, I don’t know which one have dairy.
Have you contacted them?
As of 2013, the apple pie contains dairy. This information is from the boston market website/allergen pdf. Not sure if the others are all dairy free, I only checked the apple pie.
