What it is

Chicken refers to the meat obtained from domesticated fowl, specifically chickens. It is a widely consumed poultry product, valued for its lean protein and versatility in cooking. It is typically prepared by butchering the bird into various cuts for consumption.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add chicken to food products primarily as a source of protein and for its distinct flavor and texture. It is a common ingredient in a wide range of prepared foods such as sandwiches, pizzas, frozen meals, and various processed meat products like sausages.

Health notes

Chicken is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when consumed as a whole food. It is a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The nutritional content, including fat and cholesterol, varies depending on the cut and preparation method. There are no specific acceptable daily intake (ADI) limits set for whole foods like chicken by JECFA or EFSA.

Allergen info

Chicken is not considered one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
