What is Bojangles Cole Slaw made of?
The base is simple, classic Southern coleslaw:
- Green cabbage (main base, crunchy)
- Carrots (sweetness and color)
- Mayonnaise (creamy dressing base)
- Vinegar (tang)
- Sugar (balances the tartness)
- Salt and black pepper
- Bojangles’ seasoning blend
Exact recipes can change by market or over time if you have a strict dietary need, ask staff for the current ingredient list in-store.
Does Bojangles Cole Slaw contain allergens?
Per Bojangles’ official nutrition guide, Cole Slaw is listed as containing egg (from the mayonnaise-based dressing), with no other major allergens flagged on the official sheet — no milk, soy, peanut, tree nut, fish, shellfish, wheat, or sesame listed as ingredients.
That said, Bojangles’ own nutrition guide states plainly that the company cannot guarantee any menu item is completely free of allergens, since multiple allergens are handled across the kitchen. If you have a severe allergy, ask staff to check the most current in-store allergen information before ordering.
Is Bojangles Cole Slaw gluten-free?
Cole slaw is not flagged for wheat on Bojangles’ official allergen sheet, and its ingredients (cabbage, carrots, mayo, vinegar, sugar) don’t naturally contain gluten. However, Bojangles fries multiple breaded items in shared kitchen space, so cross-contact risk exists if you’re highly sensitive or celiac. If gluten is a strict requirement, ask staff how the slaw is portioned and stored before ordering.
Is Bojangles Cole Slaw vegetarian?
Yes Bojangles Cole Slaw is vegetarian. It contains no meat, poultry, or seafood. It is not vegan, since the dressing is mayonnaise-based (contains egg).
What does Bojangles Cole Slaw taste like?
It’s light, sweet, and tangy rather than sharp or sour — closer to a comfort-food side than a sharp vinegar slaw. The cabbage and carrots stay crisp under a smooth, creamy dressing, and the texture holds up well without turning soggy, even after sitting for a while. It’s a good match for rich or fried foods because it cuts through the heaviness rather than competing with it.
