Concentrated Chicken Extract

Concentrated chicken extract is made by simmering chicken bones and meat to create a rich broth, which is then reduced to a more concentrated form. This process intensifies the natural chicken flavor and aroma. It is often used to add a savory, meaty taste to dishes.

Manufacturers add concentrated chicken extract to enhance the savory flavor of processed foods. It is commonly found in soups, sauces, gravies, seasonings, and ready-to-eat meals where a distinct chicken taste is desired. Its concentrated nature allows for potent flavor delivery with small amounts.

Concentrated chicken extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein and various minerals. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar protein-rich food ingredients. No significant health controversies are associated with its typical consumption as part of a balanced diet.
