Reviews for Chick-fil-A’s new chicken filets are in
Earlier this year, Chick-fil-A updated its chicken policy from “no antibiotics ever” to “no antibiotics important to human medicine,” according to Dexerto.
Instead of fully organic chicken, Chick-fil-A now takes from chicken treated with antibiotics. Such chickens grow stronger and bigger than their counterparts not treated with antibiotics. However, some experts say that antibiotics can have an unpleasant “spaghetti”-like effect on meat texture.
The reviews from the change have hit social media now. The reaction is mixed, with some fans saying that the taste and texture of the filets have changed.
One user commented on this viral TikTok that the new filet “tastes too much like chicken.”
Chick-fil-A has not responded to the reactions circulating around its new filet, per Dexerto.
“Chick-fil-A has been dedicated to quality since the beginning. Our commitment to the high-quality chicken you expect from us is rooted in three simple things. ... Selective about the chicken we serve. ... Maintaining high animal wellbeing standards. ... Continuing to evaluate our approach,” reads the company’s quality commitment statement.
