(Gray News) – Chick-fil-A recently announced a change to its beloved Waffle Potato Fries recipe.
The popular chain restaurant said it would make “a slight adjustment” to its fries by adding pea starch to the coating, according to the website.
The website said the adjustment helps the fries stay crispier for longer and the new recipe does not include any of the nine major allergens.
Since making the recent changes, customers have expressed dissatisfaction on social media, describing the new fries as “terrible” and “sooo gross.”
Some are even begging for the return of the original recipe.
One user posted, “Chick-fil-A new fries are horrible. Please switch back!”
Another used commented, “Please, please, please change the recipe to your waffle fried back. You have added the one thing that my son who loves Chick-fil-A is deathly allergic to. Pea powder. He’s allergic to all legumes and chickpeas and peas. Please don’t take his fries away!!!”
“Bro, Chick-fil-A wack especially the fries or whatever! Tried it for the first the other day and I regret it,” one user said.
Chick-fil-A officials said the recipe has been tested for over a year and that the fries still have “the same great taste.”
