Total Sugars

One Chick-fil-A chocolate brownie contains 35 grams of total sugars, which includes both natural sugar and added sugar. In my opinion, this is a fairly high amount of sugar in a single menu item.

Added Sugars

For context, the FDA recommends a limit of 50 grams of added sugars for an entire day.

Even though Chick-fil-A doesn’t separately report added sugars (only total sugars), we are not at a complete loss for information.

Sugar is the Dominant Ingredient in Brownie

Review the list of ingredients in Chick-fil-A’s chocolate chunk brownie (provided below). Sugar is listed as the first ingredient.

It’s a top ingredient in both the semi-sweet chocolate and the fudge chunks. Ingredients are listed in order of dominance by weight. Because sugar is listed first, it’s likely most of the 36 grams of total sugars are added sugars (vs natural sugars).

Even if only half of the 35g total sugars are added sugars, that is high. An estimate of 18g added sugars is a 35% daily value (meaning 35% of the recommended limit of added sugars for an entire day).

  • 140 calories from total sugars (38% of total calories)

Ingredients and Allergens in Chick-fil-A Brownie

  • Chick-fil-A’s brownie is not dairy-free. Ingredients include nonfat dry milk and milk fat in the semi-sweet chocolate.

There are 17 main ingredients listed for the chocolate fudge brownie. You may want to take note that the first two ingredients on the list are sugar and margarine (i.e., oil).

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients in Chick-fil-A’s Chocolate Fudge Brownie

Ingredients:Sugar, Margarine, Water, Salt, Nonfat Dry Milk, Soy Lecithin, Monoglycerides, Natural Flavor, Vitamin A Palmitate, Beta Carotene (for color), Whole Egg, Bleached Enriched Wheat Flour, Semi-Sweet Chocolate, Fudge Chunks, Cocoa processed with alkali, Natural Vanilla Flavor, Baking Soda

  • Margarine includes vegetable oil blend of palm fruit oil, soybean oil, and olive oil.
  • Bleached Wheat Flour is enriched with niacin, iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, and folic acid.
  • Semi-Sweet Chocolate is made with unsweetened chocolate, sugar, cocoa butter, milk fat, soy lecithin, vanilla, and salt.
  • Fudge Chunks are made with sugar, vegetable fat, cocoa powder processed with Alkali, soy lecithin, salt, natural flavors, and vanilla extract.

Why is Chocolate Processed with Alkali?

Cocoa alkalization reduces the natural acidity in cocoa solids.

A food-grade alkali solution raises the pH to improve the color and enhance the flavor profile of chocolate. The process is also referred to as “dutched cocoa.”

Common alkali solutions used in processing cocoa include potassium carbonate, calcium carbonate, and sodium hydroxide.

Depending on the solution, the resulting color ranges from a light red to a dark charcoal black.

The following menu items and packaged foods also contain cocoa processed with alkali:

Allergens

The brownie from Chick-fil-A is made with ingredients that contain dairy, egg, soy, and wheat.

Do Chick-fil-A Brownies Have Nuts?

Tree nuts and peanuts are listed as two of the top five major food allergens in the U.S. Accordingly, it’s no surprise that when it comes to these brownies, the question “Do Chick-fil-A Brownies Have Nuts?” is asked more than any other.

The short answer is: No, there are no nuts in the ingredients used to make the brownie.

Risk of Cross Contamination

That said, many manufacturing facilities produce various food products for multiple restaurants. Procedures may differ from one supplier to the next.

As such, Chick-fil-A foods may come into contact with other food items. So even if a recipe is made without nuts, milk, eggs, or gluten, the ingredients or final food product may come into contact with potential allergens.

Anyone who has food sensitivities should discuss concerns with the local restaurant.
