Cooked Chicken Powder

Cooked chicken powder is made by dehydrating cooked chicken. The process typically involves cooking chicken, then removing moisture through methods like spray drying or freeze-drying to create a concentrated powder form.

Manufacturers use cooked chicken powder to add a savory chicken flavor and aroma to foods. It is commonly found in seasoning mixes, bouillon cubes, soups, sauces, and processed meat products where a concentrated chicken taste is desired.

In the US, cooked chicken powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of protein and other nutrients found in chicken. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar dried meat products, but specific evaluations for cooked chicken powder may vary. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
