Cross-Contact & Kitchen Practices🧤
Chick-fil-A’s kitchens are shared, meaning gluten and gluten-free foods are prepared close together. Even if an item is on the Chick-fil-A gluten-free menu, it might still touch gluten during prep.
That’s why they offer sealed options like the gluten-free bun 🍔, Waffle Potato Chips 🥔, and Honest Kids® Juice 🧃. These are safer picks. The Waffle Fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer, a great gluten-free option for many.
Grilled Nuggets are also made without gluten, but there’s still a chance of cross-contact on the grill.
💡Pro tip: Always ask, “Can you use clean gloves and tools, please?” The staff is usually helpful and understands your needs.
It’s smart to order during slower hours, less rush means better care and fewer mistakes.
Check the packaging too. Once the gluten-free bun is unwrapped, it’s no longer certified gluten-free.If you’re sensitive or have celiac, these small steps can help you stay safe while enjoying the Chick-fil-A gluten-free menu.
