Chicken Bouillon Cubes

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Herb-Ox Chicken Bouillon Cubes scores 27/100 on Tallow — our avoid 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.

Herb-Ox Chicken Bouillon Cubes lists 12 ingredients, starting with Salt, Hydrolyzed Corn Protein, Sugar, Silicon Dioxide [anti-caking Agent] and Dísodium Inosinate and Disodium Guanylate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 27/100 Herb-Ox Chicken Bouillon Cubes scores worse than most soups & broths we have scored. A higher-scoring option in soups & broths is Pacific Foods Organic Unsalted Chicken Bone Broth, 3 x 32 oz at 98/100.
