Chicken Liver

Chicken liver is the liver of a chicken, a nutrient-rich organ meat. It is often cooked and processed for use in various food products. Chicken liver is a good source of protein, iron, and vitamin A.

Chicken liver is used as a primary ingredient or flavoring agent in pâtés, terrines, and spreads. It can also be found in some processed meats like sausages and as a component in frozen meals. Its rich, distinct flavor is a key reason for its inclusion.

Chicken liver is a natural food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food. It is a good source of essential nutrients like iron and vitamin A. High intake of vitamin A from liver could lead to toxicity, but this is unlikely from typical consumption of foods containing it. JECFA has evaluated chicken liver and found no safety concerns.
