What it is
Veal stock is a liquid made by simmering veal bones, meat, and sometimes vegetables in water. The process can take several hours, allowing the bones and meat to release their flavors and nutrients into the water. It forms the base for many savory dishes.
Why it's used
Veal stock is primarily used to add a rich, savory flavor and body to soups, stews, sauces, and gravies. Manufacturers use it as a foundational ingredient to enhance the overall taste profile of prepared foods.
Health notes
Veal stock is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein and minerals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar broths and stocks. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
Allergen info
