What it is

Dehydrated beef broth is made by simmering beef bones and meat to create broth, then removing most of the water. This concentrates the beef flavor and makes it shelf-stable. It is often sold as a powder or granulated solid.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use dehydrated beef broth to add a savory, meaty flavor to foods. It is a common ingredient in dry soup mixes, gravy mixes, bouillon cubes, and frozen or canned entrees. It provides a foundational beef taste without adding significant moisture.

Health notes

Dehydrated beef broth is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is primarily a source of protein and minerals. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for dehydrated beef broth are not widely publicized. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
