Dehydrated Chicken Stock

Dehydrated chicken stock is made by simmering chicken bones and meat, then concentrating the resulting broth and drying it into a powder or granules. This process intensifies the savory chicken flavor and makes it shelf-stable. It is a concentrated form of chicken broth.

Manufacturers add dehydrated chicken stock to boost the savory, meaty flavor in a wide variety of foods. It is commonly used in soups, sauces, gravies, marinades, and seasoning blends. Its powdered form makes it easy to incorporate into dry mixes or add to wet ingredients.

In the U.S., dehydrated chicken stock is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of protein and some minerals. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar ingredients, but specific evaluations for dehydrated chicken stock may vary. At typical consumption levels found in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
