What it is

Chicken livers are the liver of a chicken, a nutrient-rich organ meat. They are typically cooked and can be used whole or processed into pâtés and spreads. Chicken livers are a good source of protein and iron.

Why it's used

Chicken livers are used as a food ingredient to provide a rich, savory flavor and a smooth texture in processed foods. They are commonly found in pâtés, spreads, terrines, and some meat dishes like dirty rice. Manufacturers use them to add depth of flavor and nutritional value.

Health notes

Chicken livers are a natural food ingredient and are not subject to FDA additive regulations. They are a good source of vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamin A, iron, and folate. Excessive intake of vitamin A from any source can lead to adverse health effects. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated chicken liver as a food, but does not assign ADIs to whole foods.

Allergen info

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