Just Salad Vegan FAQ
Are the Croutons at Just Salad Vegan?
No, the croutons at Just Salad contain dairy and are not vegan.
Is Just Salad’s Batard Bread Vegan?
This depends on what location you visit. On Just Salad’s allergen menu
(last updated January 2023), they list 3 different states with varying notations on if it is vegan. NYC and Florida state it is vegan while in Chicago the vegan box is not checked.
We also know that their bread is offered at their other locations in other states but those are not mentioned. This is why we suggest asking the location you are visiting if it is vegan prior to ordering.
Maybe this is a mistake on their end but better be safe than sorry.
