What it is

Breading set in vegetable oil is a coating applied to foods like chicken or fish before cooking. It typically includes flour, water, and oil, and is fried or baked to create a crispy texture. The vegetable oil used is often a blend of oils like soybean, canola, or sunflower.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use breading to add a desirable crispy texture and flavor to foods, especially frozen items. It also helps to keep the food moist during cooking. Common foods include chicken tenders, fish sticks, and breaded vegetables.

Health notes

The ingredients in breading are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The vegetable oils used are common dietary fats. While deep-frying can increase the fat and calorie content of food, baking breaded items is a common alternative. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated the safety of common breading ingredients and oils.

Allergen info

Wheat is a common ingredient in breading, making it a source of gluten. If wheat is present, it is a major allergen. If the breading is made without wheat, it may be gluten-free.
