Dairy Queen is a chain known for its soft-serve ice cream and fast food (though they call it “fan food). Naturally their soft serve is not vegan, but I reached out to Dairy Queen’s corporate office to find out if any of their menu items would be suitable for a vegan diet. I have included their response below.
“Yes, we do have some products that may work for a vegan diet.
There are salads offered at all DQ Grill & Chill restaurants and DQ Brazier Restaurants, and at some DQ Limited Brazier restaurants. The salads come with bacon, cheese and chicken. Please advise the staff of the location you are visiting about your diet so they can take the extra care needed to ensure the product you receive meets your expectations.
Additionally, available at all DQ stores and restaurants, our Arctic Rush drinks are all dairy free, and I believe they will meet the requirements of a vegan diet. To ensure, I have included the ingredient listing for the Blue Raspberry Arctic Rush drink below for you as an example. All Arctic Rush drinks will have the same Arctic Rush Base; the flavoring will
vary.
Arctic Rush Base: General label declaration, ingredients may vary by supplier. Water, dextrose, citric acid, salt, cellulose gum
Blue Raspberry Arctic Rush Flavor: Water, Dextrose, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate (preservative), Artificial Color FD&C Blue #1 and Red #40, Maltodextrin, Modified Corn Starch, Artificial Raspberry Flavor.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Please let us know if you have any other questions!”
So it looks like a salad (without meat or cheese) and an Arctic Rush drink are the extent of the vegan offerings at DQ.
That’s it? It’s embarrassing how little they have and what they have. There’s no way that their fries and onion rings can’t be made vegan. I’m glad I have plenty of other places to go to besides Dairy Queen.
The fries are definitely vegan. They are cooked in Soybean oil and do not contain any animal seasonings! 🙂
Will you ever offer Beyond Meat burgers or vegan chicken? That would be great!
No vegan ice cream?? Boo hiss!
They should seriously consider doing coconut soft serve. It is the bomb.
DQ you slacking…bring out the beyond meat chicken strips and burgers. And dairy free icecream. We know you have the power to do this, though I feel because they are called “dairy Queen” it’s because of the name that they are holding off unfortunately.
Cant seem to find any fast food restraunts that sell veggies burgers. getting frustrated trying to live a healthy life style. Wake up people meat is killing us and our environment.
