What it is

Chicken broth is a savory liquid made by simmering chicken bones, meat, and vegetables like carrots and celery in water. This process extracts flavors and nutrients from the ingredients, creating a base for many dishes.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use chicken broth to add a rich, savory flavor (umami) to a wide variety of foods. It is commonly found in soups, stews, sauces, gravies, and frozen prepared meals, acting as a foundational flavor component.

Health notes

Chicken broth is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein and some minerals. While it contains sodium, typical consumption levels are not associated with adverse health effects. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated broth and related products.

Allergen info
