What it is

Chicken flavor concentrate is a food ingredient designed to provide the taste of chicken. It is typically made by processing chicken or chicken broth, often using heat and sometimes other natural flavorings. The goal is to create a concentrated essence of chicken flavor that can be used in various food products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use chicken flavor concentrate to add or enhance the savory, meaty taste of chicken in foods where real chicken may not be present or in sufficient quantity. It is commonly found in processed foods like soups, broths, sauces, gravies, frozen meals, and snacks.

Health notes

Chicken flavor concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring ingredient. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated many flavorings, but specific evaluations for 'chicken flavor concentrate' as a distinct entity may vary. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects. There are no widespread controversies regarding its use in the US food supply.

Allergen info

Chicken is not one of the nine major allergens. Therefore, chicken flavor concentrate is not considered a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
