Chicken Meat Solids

Chicken meat solids are made from cooked chicken that has been dried and ground into a powder. This process concentrates the chicken flavor and protein content. It is often used to add a savory chicken taste and body to foods.

Manufacturers add chicken meat solids to foods to provide a concentrated chicken flavor and umami taste. They are commonly found in canned soups, broths, gravies, sauces, and processed chicken products. The powder helps enhance the overall savory profile of these items.

Chicken meat solids are a source of protein and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are not typically associated with adverse health effects when consumed as part of a balanced diet. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar food ingredients, but specific evaluations for chicken meat solids are not widely publicized.
