What it is

Beef powder is made from cooked beef that has been dried and ground into a powder. The process typically involves removing moisture to create a shelf-stable ingredient that retains a beef flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use beef powder primarily to add a savory, meaty flavor to foods. It is often found in seasoning mixes, gravies, soups, sauces, and snack foods where a concentrated beef taste is desired.

Health notes

Beef powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein and other nutrients found in beef. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar ingredients, but specific evaluations for beef powder may vary. At typical consumption levels, it does not pose health risks.

Allergen info

Beef powder is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
