No Added Antibiotic Or Hormone Chicken Breast

Chicken breast is a cut of poultry meat from chickens raised without the use of antibiotics or added hormones. It is obtained from the breast muscle of the chicken.

It is widely used as a lean protein source in various prepared foods, such as frozen appetizers, nuggets, and meatballs. Manufacturers include it for its nutritional value and versatility in recipes.

Chicken breast is a lean protein source. Federal regulations prohibit the use of hormones in poultry, so the 'no added hormones' claim reflects standard practice. The 'no added antibiotics' claim indicates that the chickens were raised without antibiotics, a practice that addresses consumer interest in reducing antibiotic use in food animal production. As a whole food, chicken breast is not subject to FDA additive approval processes or evaluation by bodies like JECFA or EFSA for additive safety.
