What it is

Backs are the skeletal remains of animals, typically poultry or beef. They are often simmered with water and aromatics for extended periods to create a nutrient-rich liquid base.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use backs to create broths and stocks, which serve as a foundational ingredient in soups, sauces, and gravies. They add depth of flavor and body to these products.

Health notes

Backs themselves are not typically regulated as food additives. They are a natural food ingredient. Regulatory bodies like the FDA do not set specific limits for their consumption. There is no significant controversy regarding their use as a food ingredient.

Allergen info

Backs are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
