Contains Less Than 1% Chicken Fat

Chicken fat is a natural fat rendered from chicken tissue. It is obtained by heating chicken parts, which separates the fat from the meat and other components. This process yields a flavorful, yellowish fat.

Manufacturers add chicken fat to foods to enhance flavor and richness, providing a savory taste. It also contributes to the texture and mouthfeel of dishes. It is commonly used in soups, broths, gravies, sauces, and various processed poultry products.

Chicken fat is considered a traditional food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used appropriately in food. It is primarily composed of saturated and unsaturated fats. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend that saturated fat intake be less than 10% of daily calories. As a natural food component rather than a food additive, chicken fat is not typically evaluated by bodies like JECFA or EFSA for an acceptable daily intake.
