Health notes

Chicken soup base is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is typically made from chicken and salt, and its health implications are similar to those of consuming chicken and sodium. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for 'chicken soup base' as a distinct product are not readily available.
