Organic Free-range Chicken Bones

Organic free-range chicken bones are the skeletal remains of chickens raised under organic and free-range standards. These bones are typically simmered in water for extended periods to extract collagen, minerals, and other compounds, creating a nutrient-rich liquid base.

Manufacturers use chicken bone broth as a base for soups, broths, and sauces, adding savory flavor and body. It's also found in frozen meals and entrees, where it contributes to a richer taste and mouthfeel.

Chicken bone broth is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. While it contains minerals like calcium and phosphorus, it's not a significant source compared to dairy or fortified foods. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated chicken bone broth as a distinct food ingredient, but its components are common food substances. Some proponents claim health benefits related to joint health and gut function, but scientific evidence supporting these specific claims is limited.
