Is Chick-fil-A Gluten-Free?

Due to the handcrafted nature of our food, variations in our supplier ingredients, and our use of shared cooking and preparation areas, we can’t ensure that our restaurant environment or any menu item prepared in the restaurant (other than those listed above) will be completely free of gluten. However, for our guests who want to minimize their gluten intake, we suggest the Chick-fil-A Gluten-Free Menu Items.

Ordering at Chick-fil-A Gluten-Free Menu

Chick Chick-fil-A team is professional and kind.

“The staff at Chick-fil-A is usually helpful—but when it comes to gluten, it’s always best to be cautious and clear. Your health comes first. ❤️

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.
