What it is

This refers to the fat and skin that are naturally present on poultry, such as chicken or turkey. The skin contains fat, and both contribute to the flavor and moisture of the meat.

Why it's used

Manufacturers may leave the fat and skin on poultry used in packaged foods to enhance flavor and juiciness. It is commonly found in products where poultry is a primary ingredient, like soups, stews, and prepared meals.

Health notes

The FDA has not specifically evaluated 'with fat and skin' as a distinct ingredient. Poultry fat is a source of calories and saturated fat. Dietary guidelines recommend limiting saturated fat intake. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various fats and fatty acids, but not this specific combination.

Allergen info
