Exercise Caution
No Dedicated Fryer

GlutenChat Community Verdict
Chick-fil-A does not use a dedicated gluten-free fryer. All waffle fries are fried in the same oil as breaded chicken. The grilled chicken options are prepared on a shared grill. GlutenChat community verdict: high cross-contamination risk. Not recommended for diagnosed celiacs.
