          I just asked a manager at CFA and they said the waffle fries aren’t gluten free. Nor are some other things on this list. CFA will give you a printout of ingredients for items in question and there are lots of hidden names for gluten so be careful and ask around 🙂

            Nice, they told me they fried the fries in different oil and that they were all gluten free. I went there yesterday (Spanish Fork Utah) today, sick again. It is no small thing to give up food to try to feel good, for me the gluten causes partial seizures. At least tell me the truth when I as if they are fried in the same oil.

    From what I remember they don’t fry their fries in a dedicated fryer so they are a cross contamination risk with the chicken breading.

          I and several family members work for Chick-fil-a; the breaded chicken is all cooked in pressure-cooker type fryers, whereas the fries are in a very much separate dip-fry fryer.

      I was told it varies by location as to how they are set up if they have a fryer dedicated to not cross contaminate the fries. I was told you need to ask how each location is set up to find out if you will be “safe” to eat the fries or not.

        I also worked at CFA for years and have friends and family at the home office and who are Operators at various locations-the chicken has to be pressure cooked and has a completely separate fryer than the fryer used for the waffle fries. The waffle fries just have your standard dip fryer that most fast food places use for fries. This is the same at every location so you don’t have to worry about cross contamination.

    Just this year we had Chick-fil-A come to our town and the owner gave me a tour of the kitchen to show me the how the food is all prepared so I could understand the safe options. The french fries are prepared in their own dedicated fryers, with a dedicated employee that just does that. I questioned whether an employee might do some breaded chicken in the same fryer, but he showed me how the set-up is and if someone wanted to do that, they’d be grabbing the breaded chicken, walking all the way past the fryers that are for frying the chicken, over to where the waffle fry fryers are in order to do that, not to mention the guy in charge of fries wouldn’t let him do it!
    Needless to say, I felt very comfortable after touring the kitchen, knowing it is a place that is safe for me as a celiac.
    I always order the grilled chicken (nothing with gluten is placed on this grill), and the fries. I do always ask them to push the buttons to let them know I have a gluten allergy and explicitly say for them to change gloves. I have not had a problem any of the times I’ve eaten there, and I am one of those that gets very sick with just a crumb. In fact, we just ate lunch there today. It is so nice to have a quick and easy safe place to eat as a celiac.
    I would encourage you to contact the management at your local restaurant to inquire about their procedures so you are sure. Mine was great about responding when I PM’d them through their individual restaurant’s facebook page.

      You definitely need to ask. I was in a Chick Fil A in Fairfax, VA & the manager said they didn’t do the chicken in the same fryer, but they did fry the hash browns in the same fryer in the mornings. And the hash browns are not gluten free. No fries for us.

    I’ve been eating at Chick-fil-A for many years now and for the last 2 1/2 years I have been gluten-free. I started eating the grilled chicken nuggets and had no issues. I’ve enjoyed them often. However, recently one of the staff at Chick-fil-A suggested That I try the honey roasted barbecue sauce in the packets. It is absolutely delicious and definitely NOT gluten-free. The two times I have eaten that sauce I have gotten sick shortly after my lunch. Beware.

      Chick-fil-a’s chicken salad is made from both grilled and fried (de-breaded) chicken. So it won’t have bread in it; However, keep in mind that some of it was fried. So if you’re allergic to the point that you can’t have anything that has contacted gluten, I’d try a little at first and see how it goes or maybe just stay on the safe side.

    My husband owns a Chick-fil-A, and I have worked there as well. I am also gluten free. The Chicken salad is not GF. They use both the fried chicken and the grilled chicken in the chicken salad. The fried chicken has the breading removed after cooking. The fries are cooked in a different fryer and different type of oil than the chicken. Hope that helps.

    Often when an employee falsely states that something is gluten free is because they are looking for the specific words ” gluten” or ” wheat”. They, unless gluten free themselves, will not recognize the other ingredients that may be derived from wheat. In this gluten free menu, 2 ingredients in particular stand out to me: flavorings, and the distilled vinegar. To be safe you must always ask to see the ingredient lists yourself.

    I may never eat at Georhia’s beloved CFA again after becoming extremely ill despite my specific requests and information given. The new marinade is NOT GF, but this was addressed in my conversation with the mngmnt and should have not presented itself a problem. However, CFA seems to have difficulty in offering regular grilled chicken without the marinade.

    I believe they added spices despite my specifications. Tbh, since this horrible experience 15 days ago, I’ve remained sick and seem to have entered a new “phase” of the diagnosis….

    Think I may be done with CFA for good.

    I asked them in detail about their Blue Cheese Crumbles on their salad since I was surprised they considered it gluten free. I was impressed that they took the time to give me a very detailed response:
    We have tested the gluten content of our Blue and Gorgonzola cheeses and have found them to be “gluten-free”. It is true that the blue mold cultures are grown on bread that contains gluten. The mold incubation process and subsequent purification of the culture reduces the amount of gluten in the cheese culture to .149 g of gluten per 1 liter of media. In the cheese making process, a small amount of this culture (approximately 100 mg per 200 liters of milk) is used per vat, so further dilution occurs.

    This is a subject we take very seriously because of the possibility of consumers who have Celiac Disease consuming our products. We have not found any gluten in our products and there is no reason for these individuals not to consume our cheese. Of course, it is up to each individual to monitor their own diet and consider other factors that could affect their gluten intake that are beyond our control.

    I just ate the new Grilled Chicken Nuggets and waffle fries with sweet tea. Within an hour my stomach was churning and I was in the bathroom in considerable pain. I will check with them first from now on to make sure the fries aren’t fried in the same oil as the nuggets. And I will remember to take some enzymes (I use Carbo-G) to take along with me to take anyway, just to be on the safe side.

      Just because the item on the allergens list says Wheat free does not mean that the item will be GF when it arrives to you. One should always ask that it be prepared with the proper means by changing ones gloves that have handled breaded chicken.

    I love Chick Fil A because I know I can eat there safely. The gluten free bun is really good toasted. Sometimes I will just buy them in the drive through and freeze them until the next time I make burgers for dinner. Also good for peanut butter toast, or just toasted with butter and salt for a makeshift roll.
