Jack in the Box Allergen Menu and Ingredients

Jack in the Box allergen menu

The Jack in the Box allergen menu tracks six declarations across ninety items: eggs, milk, soy, wheat, sesame and fish. Milk turns up most often, on seventy-one of those ninety. Wheat follows closely at sixty-seven items. Fish sits at the far end of the range, declared on the Fish Sandwich and the Egg Roll and nothing else.

Sesame reaches twenty-six items, nearly all of them bun builds. Soy covers sixty of them. Eggs appear on fifty-five, arriving through mayonnaise bases, batters and the folded egg used across the breakfast counter. No item here declares nothing at all, so every row of the Jack in the Box allergen menu carries an entry.

The short answer

Milk, wheat and soy carry most of the Jack in the Box allergen menu, with sesame on the bun builds. Fish appears on two items. Nineteen items skip milk and twenty-three skip wheat, and most of those sit among the salads, the shakes and the dipping sauces.

Jack in the Box Allergen Menu Item by Item

Declarations on the Jack in the Box allergen menu follow the build rather than the counter it came from. The Breakfast Jack and the Kids Menu version of the same sandwich share one line. Sauces are listed on their own, so a burger row covers only what arrives on the burger.

The Contains column names what an item declares outright. It does not describe what a shared fryer or a shared blender might add. Three items appeared in two sections with different lists, and the wider of the two declarations was kept in each case.

Jack in the Box Breakfast Allergens

Every breakfast item declares soy and wheat, which arrive with the bun, the croissant or the tortilla wrapped around a burrito. Milk covers fourteen of the fifteen, and eggs thirteen. Classic French Toast Sticks stand apart. Sesame reaches four builds, all on a bun.

Jack in the Box Burger Allergens

Burger declarations run identically across the section, with eggs, milk, soy and wheat on every one of the fifteen rows. The sesame seed bun then splits the list in two. Jumbo Jack, Double Jack and the cheeseburgers take sesame. The Buttery Jack, Smashed Jack and Sourdough Jack builds use another bun and skip it, leaving ten of fifteen.

Jack in the Box Chicken and Fish Allergens

Wheat runs through all eleven chicken and fish builds. The Fish Sandwich carries the only fish declaration in the section, alongside eggs, sesame, soy and wheat from the bun and the batter.

Jack in the Box Side Dish Allergens

Seasoned Curly Fries, Halfsies and Tiny Taco declare wheat and nothing further. Egg Roll brings the second fish declaration on the menu, next to eggs, soy and wheat. Panko Onion Rings and Stuffed Jalapenos add milk. Side Salad without dressing declares milk on its own, and the two loaded taco rows pick up soy as well.

Dairy-Free Options at Jack in the Box

Milk covers seventy-one of the ninety items on the Jack in the Box allergen menu, which leaves nineteen without it. Most of those nineteen sit in the sauce list. Seasoned Curly Fries, Halfsies and Tiny Taco carry no milk declaration, and neither does Classic French Toast Sticks.

Dropping milk clears none of the other five. Every dairy-free item below still declares at least one of eggs, soy, wheat, sesame or fish, and the table names which. The same items appear with their calorie counts on the priced menu.

Ordering Gluten-Free at Jack in the Box

Wheat appears on sixty-seven of the ninety rows on the Jack in the Box allergen menu, so twenty-three skip it. Salads, shakes and dips make up nearly all of them. A wheat-free declaration covers the recipe rather than the fryer. Wheat Caesar Croutons carry wheat outright, despite sitting in the salad group.

Garden Salad with Grilled Chicken, Side Salad and Southwest Salad with Grilled Chicken declare milk and nothing else. Four shakes join that list. More of the range, including the many items that do carry wheat, sits on the Jack in the Box hub.

Cross-Contact and Shared Equipment at Jack in the Box

The Jack in the Box allergen menu lists what a recipe declares, not what a shared fryer adds to it. Curly fries, chicken and fish come out of the same fry station. Toasters, blenders and the assembly board handle several builds in a row across a lunch rush.

A Vanilla Shake can follow an OREO Shake through the same blender and the same cup. Staff will change gloves and reach for clean equipment when asked, though nobody can isolate a fryer mid-shift. The same exposure reaches off-menu builds, which are gathered on their own page.

Jack in the Box Allergen Menu FAQs

No. Wheat appears on sixty-seven of the ninety items listed here, and the fryer is shared with breaded chicken. Salads without croutons, the plain shakes and most dipping sauces carry no wheat declaration.

Sesame comes from the bun, so it lands on ten burgers, six chicken builds, four breakfast sandwiches, four kids items and two sauces. Twenty-six items declare it in total.

Yes. Nineteen of the ninety items skip milk, among them Seasoned Curly Fries, Halfsies, Tiny Taco, Classic French Toast Sticks and most of the sauce list.

No. Jack in the Box declares no peanuts and no shellfish on any item here. The six declarations tracked are eggs, milk, soy, wheat, sesame and fish.

Two of them. Fish Sandwich and Egg Roll carry the fish declaration, and both also name eggs, soy and wheat.

No. A shared fryer and a shared assembly board cannot be isolated during service, although staff will change gloves and reach for clean utensils when asked.

Breakfast Jack, Cheeseburger and Hamburger appear in two sections with different lists. Each row here carries the wider of the two, so the safer declaration is the one shown.
