Campbell's Real Stock Beef carton

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Campbell's Real Stock Beef carton scores 65/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Campbell's Real Stock Beef carton lists 13 ingredients, starting with Beef Stock, Salt, Yeast Extract, Natural Flavoring and Honey. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 65/100 Campbell's Real Stock Beef carton lands mid-scale — below the typical score in soups & broths, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in soups & broths is Pacific Foods Organic Unsalted Chicken Bone Broth, 3 x 32 oz at 98/100.
