What it is

Chicken broth flavor is a concentrated flavoring agent designed to mimic the taste of chicken broth. It is typically made by cooking chicken bones and meat, then simmering them with vegetables and seasonings to create a rich broth. This broth is then further processed to extract and concentrate its savory flavor compounds.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use chicken broth flavor to enhance the savory, umami taste of foods. It is commonly found in processed foods like frozen dinners, soups, sauces, snacks, and seasonings where a distinct chicken flavor is desired.

Health notes

Chicken broth flavor is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated flavorings, and EFSA also assesses food additives. At typical consumption levels found in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects. Evidence does not suggest health concerns for most people.

Allergen info

Chicken broth flavor is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
