Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A has been catching a little heat online following a “slight” change to one of its most beloved menu items. The waffle fries have a new recipe, and some social media commenters are letting their thoughts be heard.
Chick-fil-A announced the recipe change online, disclosing the menu favorite has a new ingredient.
“We know Chick-fil-A fans love our Waffle Potato Fries,” according to the restaurant chain’s website. “We recently made a slight adjustment to our Waffle Potato Fries recipe, which offers the same great taste while also making our Waffle Potato Fries stay crispier, longer.
“Food safety and quality are our top priorities, and we take great care in adhering to stringent food safety procedures,” the website continued. “While the new recipe doesn’t contain any of the nine major allergens, the new Waffle Potato Fries coating does contain pea starch.”
Chick-fil-A was promoting a new audio adventure, “Hidden Island,” on its social media when commenters started speaking their minds on the new unrelated changes to its waffle fries.
