What It Is
Chicken Flavor is created through thermal reaction technology-specifically, the Maillard reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars. The result is a food additive that delivers the characteristic aroma of chicken.
In plain English: We take the aromatic compounds that are produced when chicken is simmered, roasted, or slow-cooked-and we recreate them using non-meat ingredients.
It contains no chicken components. But it delivers the aroma of chicken.

FAQ
Q: If I use this, can I label my product as "chicken flavor"?
A: Yes. That's exactly what it's designed for-to give products a chicken flavor profile. Labeling as "chicken flavor" or "food flavor" is acceptable. Follow local regulations for specific wording.
Q: What's the difference between this and chicken extract or bouillon?
A: Chicken extract comes from real chicken and contains actual meat components. This contains no meat-it delivers aroma only. Lower cost. More stable shelf life. Suitable for products targeting vegetarian/vegan labeling.
Q: Does it taste like roasted chicken or boiled chicken?
A: The profile is clean roasted chicken-think of the aroma when you roast a chicken in the oven. It has that savory depth without being overpowering. For a more boiled/soup profile, blend with onion and white pepper.
Q: Can I use this for plant-based chicken products?
A: Yes. This is one of the main sources for getting chicken flavor into plant-based meat alternatives. Combine with texturized vegetable protein and appropriate coloring for a complete solution.
Bottom Line
Chicken Flavor is exactly what it sounds like: the aroma of chicken, isolated and concentrated. Use it when you want clean, savory chicken taste-without using chicken.
