Broth K-cup Pod Ingredients: Dehydrated Chicken Broth

Dehydrated chicken broth is made by removing water from chicken broth. This process concentrates the flavor and makes the product shelf-stable and easier to transport. It is typically made from chicken bones, meat, and vegetables that are simmered to create broth, which is then dehydrated.

Manufacturers add dehydrated chicken broth to foods to provide a savory, chicken-like flavor. It is commonly used in dry soup mixes, bouillon cubes, seasoning blends, and snack foods. It can also be used to add flavor to gravies, sauces, and processed meats.

Dehydrated chicken broth is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of sodium, and high sodium intake can be a concern for some individuals. The FDA's Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg per day. JECFA has evaluated chicken broth and its components.
