Chick-fil-A has many popular dipping sauces, but one may be dangerous for people with food allergies.
Chick-fil-A warned this week that its Polynesian Sauce dipping cups may contain a sauce that contains wheat and soy, two significant food allergens listed by the FDA. Anyone has these sauces should throw them away.
A Chick-fil-A representative said the manufacturer packed certain cups with wheat-and-soy Sriracha sauce.
"Please discard any Polynesian Sauce dipping cups that you may have taken home between February 14-27, 2024," Chick-fil-A's website advises. Additionally, customers can call Chick-fil-A CARES at 1 (866)-232-2040 with questions.
Restaurants in 27 states are affected. The contaminated dipping sauce cups were withdrawn from these stores. Chick-fil-A has not responded to our request for confirmation that the Polynesian Sauce has not caused any illnesses.
Chick-fil-A has informed customers by email, mobile app, and restaurant signage. Email states, "We rejected all Polynesian Sauce dipping cups at the nearby restaurant and found no other dipping sauces or 8 oz bottles affected.
"We apologize for this experience and appreciate our guests' trust in us to deliver their food," TODAY.com said.
Chick-fil-A introduced Polynesian, Honey Mustard, and Barbeque sauces in 1984. The chain calls their Polynesian Sauce "delicious sweet and sour sauce with a strong, tangy flavor."
Chick-fil-A brought bottles of its renowned sauce to grocery shops in 2020. Walmart and Target sell 16- and 24-fluid-ounce Polynesian Sauce bottles. The recent dipping sauce incident excludes bottled sauces.
Chick-fil-A also sells Barbeque Sauce, Sweet & Spicy Sauce, and its 2006 introduction, Chick-fil-A Sauce.
Keep an eye out for more than Chick-fil-A's Polynesian Sauce. California dairy business Rizo-López Foods has issued one of the largest food recalls. This massive listeria recall includes many cheese, yogurt, and sour cream products.
