What it is
Dried chicken stock is made by simmering chicken bones, meat, and vegetables to create a flavorful liquid, which is then dehydrated into a powder or granules. This process concentrates the savory essence of chicken and other ingredients.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add dried chicken stock to provide a rich, savory chicken flavor to foods. It is commonly used in soups, sauces, gravies, marinades, and seasoning blends, especially in products aiming for a homemade taste.
Health notes
Dried chicken stock is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein and some minerals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar products, but no specific health concerns are typically associated with its consumption at normal dietary levels.
Allergen info
Chicken is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Gluten is not typically present unless added during processing.
