A clean, honest cooking base: organic chicken stock rounded out with a little natural chicken flavor and vegetable juice concentrates. No MSG, no autolyzed yeast, no artificial anything. The one thing to watch is sodium, which is normal for broth but adds up fast in a recipe.

Why this verdict

• Built on real organic chicken stock, not just salt and flavoring
• No MSG, no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives
• Short, recognizable ingredient list with organic vegetable concentrates
• Sodium is meaningful, as with nearly all ready-made broths
• A solid everyday cooking base rather than a food eaten on its own
