Chick-fil-A fans are up in arms after the fast-food chain changed its recipe for waffle fries, claiming it has made them “dry, grainy and tasteless.” Influencer Daryl-Ann Denner was among the first to sound the alarm on social media, writing that she misses the old recipe’s crispy texture. The company revealed a slight adjustment to make the fries stay crispier longer, but some fans argue this change has compromised flavor.
A quick search online showed the new coating contains pea starch, which could be a problem for those with pea allergies. Many fans are now urging Chick-fil-A to bring back its original recipe or at least address their concerns through a refund or discount policy. Some customers have even stopped eating the fries due to food allergy issues. As one fan said, “Who at @chickfila decided to ‘fix’ what wasn’t broken?”
