Chicken Broth And Natural Flavors

Chicken broth is the liquid made by simmering chicken, bones, and vegetables. Natural flavors are ingredients that provide taste, derived from plant or animal sources. They are often concentrated extracts.

Chicken broth adds savory flavor and moisture to foods. Natural flavors are used to enhance or impart specific tastes, like savory, fruity, or sweet. They are found in a wide variety of processed foods, including soups, sauces, snacks, and baked goods.

Chicken broth is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. Natural flavors are also GRAS. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavorings, but specific evaluations for 'natural flavors' as a broad category are complex due to the variety of sources. At typical intake levels, these ingredients are not associated with adverse health effects.
