The vegan options at Burger King have not changed much over the last couple of years but honestly, we can appreciate a reliable fast food chain.

You can get a full Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner at BK with their French Toast Sticks*, Hash Browns* and Impossible Whopper*, etc. Word of warning though, too many French Toast Sticks will have you ready to go right back to bed!

Here’s is everything “accidentally vegan” at Burger King, starting with cross-contamination info.

Vegan Options at Burger King

* The Impossible Burger and fried items share a broiler/grill/fryer with animal menu items. As with any restaurant that is not 100% vegan or does not offer a designated cooking space for their vegan options, cross-contamination can occur and fryers/grills may be shared with animal products.

Every menu item we share as being vegan-friendly, at Burger King, should be considered accidentally vegan. You can choose what your level of comfort is with these potential issues.

Does Burger King still offer a Dutch Apple Pie?

No. As of July 2020, Burger King discontinued their Dutch Apple Pie and yes, it was “accidentally” vegan. And if you’re curious if the Cinnamon Apple Pie currently on the menu is vegan-friendly… it is not. The currently apple pie contains dairy.

Too bad they couldn’t have brought back the old one.

As of February 2026, Burger King does not offer any vegan-friendly desserts.

But don’t Burger King’s Onion Rings contain dairy?

No. To preface, I only have info beginning in 2018 when VeggL was created. From 2018 to July 2021, Burger King had dairy noted as an allergen. We had learned from their reps that the dairy allergen was from whey.

In July 2021, that allergen was no longer showing on Burger King’s allergen guide. What became a struggle was receiving a confirmation from Burger King that the whey was in fact the only animal-based ingredient in the recipe and since that appeared to be removed, we were good to go…?

Due to not totally knowing, I kept the onion ring info here in the FAQ letting you decide what you were comfortable with.

Fast forward to a VeggL’er reaching out in February 2026 thinking that dairy IS in the onion rings. I panic a little. But to my surprise, my new research gave me all the info I need… Burger King now includes their ingredient lists (on most of their menu items) on their website!!

Are Burger Kings Onion Rings vegan? Yes! We consider them accidentally vegan. Here is the ingredient list:

Onion Rings: Water, Enriched Wheat Flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), Vegetable Oil (soybean and/or canola oil and/or palm oil), Modified Corn Starch, Dehydrated Minced Onion, Yellow Corn Flour, Sugar, Dehydrated Chopped Onion, Gelatinized Wheat Starch, Contain 2% or less of Salt, Onion Flavor, Methylcellulose, Onion Powder, Fructose, Dextrose, Guar Gum, Wheat Gluten, Yeast Extract, Leavening (sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate), Sodium Alginate, Sodium Tripolyphosphate, Garlic Powder, Calcium Chloride, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Corn Starch, Spice, Dried Yeast, Sorbitol, Celery Seed

Remember, cross-contamination will still occur with shared fryers and shared kitchen spaces.

Our Picks

Ryan’s Pick: I’m not going to lie, I’ve been crushing Impossible Whoppers. I will also say that Burger King fries are some of my absolute favorites of any fast food spot. They’re always super crispy with a good amount of salt on them.

Having said that, if we’re stopping at Burger King it’s usually a road trip breakfast drive-thru situation to grab French Toast Sticks and Hash Browns.

Jen’s Pick: In a pinch or a late night out (wink), I am a fan of Burger King. I like their French Toast Sticks, Hash Browns, Impossible Whopper and Fries. I do tend to add my own vegan mayo to the Impossible Whopper though.
