Why Choose IDF Chicken Fat
Our chicken fat products stand out in the food ingredient market through their genuine poultry-derived composition and distinctive flavor characteristics. Unlike synthetic alternatives, IDF chicken fats offer an unmatched depth of taste that enhances everything from soups and sauces to baked goods and snack foods.
The natural sweetness and buttery notes of our chicken schmaltz create a foundation of homestyle flavor that resonates with consumers seeking authentic food experiences. This real chicken fat brings culinary traditions into modern food production with consistent quality and reliable performance.
We understand that different applications require different solutions. That’s why our product line includes multiple preservation options, from natural rosemary extract to synthetic antioxidants, ensuring you can select the formulation that aligns with your label requirements and production specifications.
Product Options and Packaging Flexibility
IDF offers chicken fat in convenient formats designed for both small-batch production and large-scale manufacturing operations. Our shelf-stable liquid chicken fat is available in plastic pails for smaller quantities, steel drums for medium-volume needs, and totes with thermal blankets for bulk requirements.
For applications requiring dry ingredients, our powdered chicken fat combines spray-dried chicken fat with chicken broth, delivering rich and creamy savory notes in a convenient powder form. This innovation expands application possibilities into dry seasoning blends, instant soups, and products where moisture control is essential.
Natural and Organic Certifications
Quality-conscious manufacturers can choose from our range of certified options. We offer all-natural chicken fat sourced from chickens raised without antibiotics ever (NAE), as well as USDA organic chicken fat for products targeting the organic market segment. These premium options feature rosemary extract as a natural preservative, supporting clean label initiatives.
Our conventional chicken fat products provide the same exceptional flavor profile with preservation systems including BHA, TBHQ, or no added antioxidants, depending on your stability requirements and formulation preferences.
