Chicken Broth Salt

Chicken broth salt is a savory seasoning ingredient. It is typically made by concentrating and drying chicken broth, then blending it with salt. This process creates a powdered or granulated product that delivers a concentrated chicken flavor.

Manufacturers add chicken broth salt primarily as a flavor enhancer to provide a rich, savory, and umami taste. It is commonly found in processed foods such as soups, stews, sauces, marinades, snack foods, and frozen meals. It helps to deepen the overall flavor profile of dishes.

Chicken broth salt is generally considered a food ingredient rather than a specific food additive. Its primary components are chicken broth and salt. Salt (sodium chloride) is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. High intake of sodium is associated with increased blood pressure; the FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg. JECFA has evaluated sodium chloride and established an acceptable daily intake. There are no specific regulatory concerns or controversies unique to "chicken broth salt" beyond those associated with its individual components.
