Don’t let anyone tell you that your voice doesn’t matter. If you speak up, YOU can effect change – in French fries, at least.
Chick-fil-A has announced that they have removed pea starch from their Waffle Potato Fries. They added it two years ago to help fries stay crispier, but that was not a popular move.
A LOT of customers complained that the pea starch changed the texture and flavor, and they’ve been pushing for them to return to their original recipe.
It’s unclear when they made the change, but it sounds like it’s been done, effective immediately.
A customer support page on the Chick-fil-A website now includes this response: Quote, “Does your Waffle Fry recipe contain Pea Starch? No.” And they’ve also updated the ingredients on their website to nix pea starch.
Everyone seems happy about it. One person online said, “I’m gonna miss that pea starch. Said NO ONE.”
