Coated With Up To 10% Chicken Broth

This ingredient is chicken broth, a liquid made by simmering chicken bones, meat, and vegetables. It is often concentrated and used as a coating to add moisture and flavor to processed chicken products. The broth is typically applied to the surface of the meat before packaging.

Manufacturers use chicken broth as a coating to enhance the savory flavor and juiciness of processed chicken. It helps to keep the meat moist during cooking and adds a richer taste. You'll often find it in frozen or pre-portioned chicken products, such as diced chicken breast or chicken filets.

Chicken broth is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein and can contribute to the sodium content of a food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated broth and its components, but specific health claims or limits are not typically assigned to its use as a flavoring agent in this context. Typical consumption as part of a processed food is not associated with adverse health effects.
