Jack in the Box Takes Sugary Drinks Off Kids Menus

Share On Social!

A move in the right direction for healthier kids menus, the fast food chain Jack-in-the-Box, is taking soda and sugary beverages like Hi-C punch and lemonade off of their kids’ menu.

The new kids’ menus offering healthier beverage options will take place in all 2,200 of the chain’s locations nationwide.

Groups like Moms Rising and the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) have worked with parents across social media and stakeholder groups to help encourage these changes toward healthier beverage options and less promotion of sugary beverages in restaurant chains across the country.

Jack-in-the-Box now joins Dairy Queen, Burger King, and others in removing sugary drinks.

More is needed to be done to help kids see healthier options as the easier and more appealing choice, as studies show some kids are advertised sugary beverages and unhealthy snack food more than their peers.
