Chick-fil-A Gluten-Free Menu

Due to variations in supplier ingredients and shared preparation areas, there is no guarantee that any menu item prepared and/or served in the restaurant or at the drive-thru is entirely free of gluten.

Because of the handcrafted nature of the food at Chick-fil-A fast food chains, the food may not meet the definition of gluten-free for individuals with celiac disease or those who have a severe gluten allergy.

The following list of menu items are not directly made with gluten. These may be good options for customers who understand the risk of gluten cross-contamination yet aim to follow a gluten-free diet.

Overview of Food Allergens

The most common allergens and allergic reactions are related to nine major food groups: eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soybeans, tree nuts, and wheat. Federal regulations require manufacturers and restaurants to declare these allergens when foods or drinks are made with the ingredient.

There is no requirement to test every meal prior to service. So guests with gluten sensitivities need to understand the potential risk of cross contamination.

Cross Contact

Space in a fast food restaurant environment is generally limited and menu items are often prepared and cooked using shared equipment. Moreover, food preparation may be rushed and chaotic.

If the kitchen does not have a dedicated fryer, the same oil and fryer may be used to cook multiple food items such as potatoes, chicken, or fish that’s breaded or contains wheat, barley, or rye.

Although kitchen staff may follow strict food safety procedures, there is no guarantee that any item is 100% free of allergens.

Due to the risk of cross-contamination, even foods that are not made with allergens may still come in contact with gluten.
