What it is

Chicken and chicken broth is made from chicken meat and/or bones, often simmered with water and vegetables to create a liquid base. It can be sold as a liquid, powder, or paste. It provides a savory chicken flavor and moisture to foods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use chicken and chicken broth to add a rich, savory chicken flavor to a wide range of products. It is commonly found in soups, sauces, marinades, seasoning mixes, and prepared meals. It also contributes moisture and body to dishes.

Health notes

Chicken and chicken broth are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of protein and some nutrients. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar ingredients. At typical consumption levels, they are not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Chicken itself is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. However, if chicken broth is processed in a facility that also handles major allergens, cross-contamination is possible. It does not contain gluten.
