Chicken Fat Powder

Chicken fat powder is made from rendered chicken fat. The fat is typically processed and dried to create a powder form, which can be easier to handle and incorporate into food products.

Manufacturers use chicken fat powder to add a savory chicken flavor and richness to foods. It is commonly found in dry mixes like gravy and soup, as well as flavored rice dishes and seasoned snack foods.

Chicken fat powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of fat, and like all fats, it contributes calories. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated fats and oils, but specific evaluations for chicken fat powder are not widely publicized. Typical consumption levels are not associated with adverse health effects.
