The stories behind our trusted suppliers
At Chick-fil-A, we know our customers trust us to be responsible and transparent about how we source our ingredients. We don’t take that trust lightly, and that’s why we carefully select each one of our suppliers. We partner only with companies that we can fully depend on to provide the highest-quality ingredients for our menu, and to follow our ingredient standards.
