What it is

Beef bone extract is made by simmering beef bones and connective tissues in water. This process extracts collagen, minerals, and other compounds from the bones, creating a concentrated liquid or paste. It is often used to add a savory, meaty flavor and body to foods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add beef bone extract to enhance the savory, umami flavor and provide a richer mouthfeel in foods. It is commonly found in soups, broths, gravies, sauces, and seasoned noodle dishes.

Health notes

Beef bone extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein and minerals. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar collagen-rich extracts, but specific evaluations for 'beef bone extract' may vary. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info
