Chick-fil-A is best known for its original chicken sandwich, but its waffle potato fries remain a menu favorite. Introduced in 1985, the unique, lattice-cut spud “gave customers more dipping power for their buck,” according to its website.
The chicken chain announced a “slight” change to its fries this year, noting that the new recipe “doesn’t contain any of the nine major allergens.”
The new coating, meant to keep the waffle potato fries crispier for longer, contains pea starch, however.
“Food safety and quality are our top priorities, and we take great care in adhering to stringent food safety procedures,” the restaurant said.
