Chick-fil-A Recalls Polynesian Sauce Due to Potential Allergens
February 29, 2024
Chick-fil-A has initiated a recall of its Polynesian sauce, citing potential wheat and soy allergens. Customers who have acquired Polynesian dipping cups from Chick-fil-A between Feb. 14-27, 2024, are advised to discard them promptly. Specifically, the fast-food chain claims that the “Polynesian dipping cups may contain a different sauce that includes wheat and soy allergens,” according to a notice on its website.
The company stresses the importance of this recall due to the possibility of allergen contamination and encourages those with inquiries to reach out to Chick-fil-A CARES at 1-866-232-2040.
First introduced in 1984 alongside honey mustard and barbecue sauces, the Polynesian sauce has been a cherished accompaniment to Chick-fil-A’s chicken nuggets, which were added to the menu in 1982.
The recall of Polynesian sauce serves as a reminder of the importance of food safety protocols in the fast-food industry, emphasizing the need for stringent measures to protect consumers from potential allergen exposure.
In related fast food and restaurant news, Wendy’s plans to experiment with dynamic pricing, prompting Burger King to respond with a free Whopper deal after backlash. Concurrently, the parent company of Outback Steakhouse has announced the closure of 41 restaurant locations.
Leap day in 2024 presents various deals from Wendy’s, Chipotle, Krispy Kreme, and others, while Oreo anticipates the launch of new flavors inspired by mud pie and tiramisu.
Amidst these developments, Chick-fil-A recently settled a class-action lawsuit. Eligible residents from several states were entitled to a $29.95 gift card. However, the deadline for claims has now passed.
The lawsuit, filed in Georgia in October 2023, accused Chick-fil-A of inflating menu prices by up to 30% on delivery orders, contradicting assurances of low delivery fees on their app or website during the COVID-19 pandemic.
