What it is

Boneless refers to meat or poultry that has had its bones removed. This process is typically done by butchers or food processing plants to make the product easier to prepare and consume.

Why it's used

Removing bones makes meat and poultry more convenient for consumers, especially in products like chicken breast strips, fillets, and sausages. It allows for easier portioning and cooking, and is common in frozen meals, appetizers, and processed meats.

Health notes

Boneless meat is a source of protein and other nutrients. The FDA does not regulate 'boneless' as an additive. There are no specific health concerns associated with the removal of bones from meat itself. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have not evaluated 'boneless' as it is a physical characteristic of food, not an added ingredient.

Allergen info

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