What it is
Chick'n is a plant-based meat alternative designed to mimic the taste and texture of chicken. It is typically made from soy protein, wheat gluten, or pea protein, often combined with other plant-derived ingredients and flavorings.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use chick'n as a protein source in vegetarian and vegan products. It is commonly found in frozen meals, meatless entrees, vegetarian burgers, and plant-based chicken-style nuggets and strips.
Health notes
Chick'n, as a food product, is generally recognized as safe by the FDA when used as intended. As a plant-based protein, it can be part of a balanced diet. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated various food ingredients, but specific evaluations for 'chick'n' as a product category are not typically made. Nutritional content varies by product.
Allergen info
Chick'n may be a major allergen if it is derived from soy or wheat. Consumers should check product labels for specific allergen information, including potential cross-contamination warnings.
