Chicken Bone Broth Powder

Chicken bone broth powder is made by simmering chicken bones, connective tissues, and skin for an extended period, then concentrating the liquid and drying it into a powder. This process extracts collagen and other nutrients from the bones and tissues.

Manufacturers use it to add a savory, umami flavor and a source of protein to foods. It is commonly found in powdered drink mixes, soups, gravies, marinades, and seasoning blends, where it enhances the overall taste profile.

Chicken bone broth powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. While it contains protein and minerals, the amounts are typically small in most food applications. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have not set specific limits for this ingredient, and there is limited peer-reviewed research on its specific health effects when consumed as a processed food ingredient. Some proponents claim benefits like improved joint health due to collagen content, but scientific evidence for these claims in the context of typical dietary intake is mixed.
