Skinless Chicken Thigh Raised Without Antibiotics

Skinless chicken thigh is a cut of meat from the upper leg of a chicken, with the skin removed. The term 'raised without antibiotics' means that the chickens were not given antibiotics at any point during their lives, from hatching to processing.

This ingredient is primarily used as a protein source in a variety of prepared food products. Manufacturers include it in items like frozen dinners, meatballs, and sausages to provide a meaty texture and flavor.

Chicken thigh is a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The 'raised without antibiotics' claim is a marketing term that indicates a specific animal husbandry practice, which some consumers prefer. The FDA permits this labeling claim for poultry when producers can demonstrate that antibiotics were not used at any stage of the animal's life.
