Updated January 2024! Although they have quite a few menu items, Burger King has a core set of ingredients, most of which are made without milk. Consequently, without cheese, the majority of their burgers, sandwiches and sides are actually dairy free. We have details on these items, including custom order options, allergen notes, differences between the U.S. and Canada, and even some vegan selections.

Burger King Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Allergen Notes & Vegan Options

Be aware of special order requirements in parentheses () next to the menu items, and see the Heads Up notes to help fill in the blanks. Please note that this dairy-free menu guide is for the U.S. locations, but it also includes notes on Canadian options. Options may vary in other countries.

Fryer Note: Their fryer oil contains corn, canola, soy, and/or cottonseed oils. Many fried items at Burger King are made without milk. Nevertheless, Burger King does use shared fryers. So there is still some risk for potential cross-contamination of allergens, like milk, with all fried items. Check at your location if concerned.

Butter Note: It is not policy to use dairy butter on the buns or for cooking at Burger King. But always verify at your location.

Beware of Old Allergen Menus:If you just search online, you will come up with OLD Burger King allergen menus. We work hard to get the most current, detailed information possible. Company searches can yield outdated information. One of them is in a non-sanctioned area, and it has a date that changes to the current date and time. But it is an old chart.

Other Allergen & Dietary Notes: At last check, all menu items at Burger King were made without any peanuts or tree nuts. They do not have any gluten-free buns at this time. Most of the menu items at Burger King contain soy or are fried in soy oil. Their hand-breaded chicken and fish does contain egg, but the nuggets and chicken fries do not. The dairy-free burgers can be ordered egg-free if you hold any mayo and mayo-based sauces. For vegan options, see the Vegan Menu Guide at the bottom of this post.

Burgers

• Bacon King Burger (no cheese)
• Bacon Melt (no cheese)

• Whopper, Triple (no cheese)

Heads Up! Their Whopper Seasoning Blend is made without dairy. Their seasonal BK Stackers are typically dairy-free without cheese (the Stacker Sauce contains egg and soy), but verify when they pop up as a limited time option at your location.

Chicken & Fish

• Big Fish Sandwich (U.S. only, contains milk in Canada)
• Chicken Fries
• Chicken Jr. Sandwich
• Chicken Nuggets
• Crispy Chicken Sandwich, with or without bacon (Canada only)
• Original Chicken Sandwich (Canada only, contains milk in the U.S.)
• Spicy Chicken Jr. Sandwich (Canada only)
• Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich, with or without bacon (Canada only)
• Spicy Chicken Fries

Heads Up! The Original Chicken Sandwich Patty does contain milk in the U.S. So the limited time American, Italian, and Mexican versions all contain milk. The Ch’King Sandwiches (which were dairy-free by ingredients) have been replaced with the BK Royal Crispy Chicken Sandwiches. The Royal Crispy patties reportedly contain milk. Unfortunately, this means the BK Royal Crispy Wraps also contain milk.

Other Sides

• French Fries
• Onion Rings (see Heads Up! below)

Heads Up! If you search for BK’s allergen menu, the search will give you many old and outdated allergen charts first. And some of the allergen charts are for other countries. As mentioned, this guide covers the U.S. Burger Kings and we source the most current information available, and also confirm with staff. Some of these old and out of country charts will say that the Onion Rings contain milk. But their CURRENT U.S. allergen information does state no milk. There is one allergen chart that has a date and time that changes to the current date and time when you look at it. That chart is very old. If you think you have NEW information about changes to the onion rings, feel free to reach out.

Dipping Sauces

• Barbecue
• Honey Mustard
• Marinara
• Stacker Sauce (seasonal)
• Zesty

Heads Up! In addition to the Ranch, the Buffalo Dipping Sauce also contains milk.

King Jr. Meals

• Chicken Nuggets
• Hamburger

Heads Up! The above can be ordered with Mott’s Natural Applesauce, French Fries, or Onion Rings (they do use a shared fryer) and apple juice for the drink. See the Dipping Sauce options above, and information on the sides above.

Breakfast

• French Toast Sticks with Syrup
• Hash Browns
• Oatmeal (prepared with water)

Heads Up! You might be able to order some of their breakfast meats separately, but the breads used for their breakfast sandwiches contain milk. Note that the French Toast Sticks and Hash Browns are fried, so they might be cooked in a shared fryer with items containing milk.

Dessert

Heads Up! Sadly, there are no longer dessert options at Burger King – the Dutch Apple Pie was discontinued.
