What it is

Chicken and beef are common types of meat derived from domesticated poultry (chicken) and cattle (beef). They are obtained by slaughtering the animals and processing their muscle tissue into various cuts and ground forms for human consumption.

Why it's used

These meats are primarily used as protein sources, providing flavor and texture to a wide range of dishes. They are frequently found in prepared meals, processed meats like sausages and pepperoni, and as main ingredients in pizzas, lunch snacks, and other savory foods.

Health notes

Chicken and beef are whole foods regulated by the USDA, not typically evaluated by bodies like JECFA or EFSA as food additives. They are sources of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified the consumption of red meat (which includes beef) as "probably carcinogenic to humans" (Group 2A), based on limited evidence.
