Chick-Fil-A, like any other fast food company, uses processed ingredients in their food and according to the chain’s ingredient list, their mac and cheese is no different. The item includes ingredients such as thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, soybean oil, pasteurized process cheese spread, and natural and artificial flavors.

Although Chick-Fil-A’s mac ‘n cheese doesn’t use butter flavor — made of soybean oil, water, natural flavor, and enzyme-modified butter — like KFC, this many preservatives and oils in a dish like macaroni and cheese is still concerning. This isn't to say that Chick-fil-A isn't safe to eat, just keep in mind what you're eating.
