The change to its old recipe comes as Chick-fil-A celebrates a major milestone this year.
ATLANTA — Chick-fil-A is reportedly changing its fries again, reverting to its 2024 recipe.
A representative for the popular chicken fast food chain confirmed to People on Tuesday that it will no longer add pea starch to its Waffle Potato Fries. Chick-fil-A added pea starch in 2024.
At the time, it announced that it was making a “slight adjustment” to the fries to make them “stay crispier, longer.”
Its website no longer reflects pea starch as an ingredient.
On Reddit, some users were rejoicing at the change, especially those with pea allergies.
“I hope so. My wife is deathly allergic to peas,” one user wrote on the Chick-fil-A subreddit forum.

The chain’s 80th anniversary celebration has brought new drinks to the permanent menu, retro packaging and collectible cups, along with a nationwide sweepstakes that will give thousands of customers free food for a year.
Chick-fil-A is also selling $3.99 Classic Cups in four rotating retro designs.
In addition to those cups nationwide, 3,000 Gold Fan Cups will be mixed in. Customers who receive a Gold Fan Cup can win a year of free Chick-fil-A, including 52 entrees such as an Original Chicken Sandwich, Spicy Chicken Sandwich, Grilled Chicken Sandwich or an 8-count Chick-fil-A Nuggets, at participating locations.
Winners can scan the QR code on the cup to claim the prize. The sweepstakes will run through July 1, while supplies last.
