What it is
Country ham broth is a liquid flavoring made by simmering cured ham bones and meat. The process extracts savory, meaty flavors and some salt from the ham. It is typically used to add a rich, smoky, and salty taste to foods.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use country ham broth as a flavoring agent to impart a deep, savory, and often smoky taste to foods. It is commonly found in canned or packaged vegetables, soups, and stews, where it enhances the overall flavor profile.
Health notes
Country ham broth is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of sodium due to the curing process of the ham. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar flavoring substances. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
