What it is
Chicken stock concentrate is a highly concentrated liquid or powder made from chicken bones, meat, and vegetables that have been simmered to create a flavorful broth. The liquid is then reduced to remove water, intensifying the chicken flavor and aroma. It is often used as a base for soups, sauces, and gravies.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add chicken stock concentrate to foods to provide a savory, chicken-like flavor. It acts as a flavor enhancer and a base ingredient in a variety of products, including soups, gravies, sauces, and seasoned rice or pasta dishes.
Health notes
Chicken stock concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar concentrated broths and flavorings. At typical consumption levels found in processed foods, it does not pose health risks. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from its use in food.
Allergen info
Chicken stock concentrate is not derived from one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
