What it is
Concentrated chicken broth is a liquid made by simmering chicken bones, meat, and vegetables, then removing most of the water. This process intensifies the chicken flavor and creates a rich base for cooking. It is often reduced further to create a more concentrated product.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use concentrated chicken broth to add a savory, umami flavor to a wide variety of foods. It serves as a flavor enhancer and base ingredient in soups, sauces, gravies, frozen meals, and baked goods. Its concentrated form allows for a potent flavor impact with less volume.
Health notes
Concentrated chicken broth is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein and some minerals. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar broth products. Typical consumption levels are not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Concentrated chicken broth is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
