No, Jack in the Box is not halal. It serves bacon and other pork products, its beef and chicken are not slaughtered the zabiha way, and no location is halal-certified. It operates almost only in the United States, so there is no halal version in other countries either. Items without meat, such as fries, sides and drinks, avoid the meat, but they are made with shared equipment.
