Does chick fil a sauce have dairy

Updated February 2022! Chick-fil-A is an American fast food chain that specializes in chicken sandwiches,but oddly enough, their most popular menu item is their waffle fries, which happen to be dairy free! They actually have a good handful of other dairy-free menu items, and are more allergy-friendly than similar chains, which you can see below. Please note that for religious reasons, all Chick-fil-A restaurants are closed on Sundays and on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Chick-fil-A Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Allergen Notes & Vegan Options

This menu guide includes dairy-free menu options first, followed by custom order components. Be aware of special order requirements in parentheses () next to the menu items, and see the Heads Up notes to help fill in the blanks.

Other Allergen & Dietary Notes: Chick-fil-A does not currently use peanuts in any menu items. We have noted which items contain eggs, tree nuts, or soy, and which items are identified as gluten-free, per Chick-fil-A’s gluten-free menu. Please note that items made with highly refined soy are not called out by the company, as it is not considered an allergen by the FDA. For vegan options, see the Vegan Menu Guide at the bottom of this post.

Fryer Note: According to Samantha, a Chick-fil-A corporate employee, “the fryers used for chicken are only used for chicken meaning that the fries and hashbrowns are cooked separately from dairy containing products.” But dedicated fryers don’t seem to be the case at every Chick-fil-A location. Check at your restaurant if this is a concern for you. Chick-fil-A uses peanut oil for frying their chicken, and canola oil for the fries, when separate fryers are used.

Butter Note: According to Chick-fil-A, the “butter oil” and “natural butter type flavor” used to cook the eggs and butter the buns are dairy-free. They stated that the natural flavors in each do not contain milk.
