Skinless Boneless Chicken Breast Fillets With Rib Meat

Skinless boneless chicken breast fillets with rib meat are cuts of meat from the breast of a chicken, with the skin and bones removed. The 'with rib meat' designation means that some meat from the rib cage area is included. This product is obtained from domesticated chickens raised for meat production.

Manufacturers add chicken breast to products primarily as a source of protein and for its flavor and texture. It is a common ingredient in a variety of prepared foods, including pizzas, sandwiches, salads, and frozen meals, serving as the main protein component.

Chicken breast is considered a whole food and is not regulated as a food additive by the FDA; instead, it falls under the purview of the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). It is a lean source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. There are no specific JECFA or EFSA evaluations for chicken breast as a food additive, as it is a primary food ingredient.
