Common questions

Is Knorr Bouillon healthy?

Knorr Bouillon scores 5/100 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.

What is in Knorr Bouillon?

Knorr Bouillon lists 19 ingredients, starting with Salt, Sugar, Corn Starch, Monosodium Glutamate and Beef Fat. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Knorr Bouillon contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Knorr Bouillon’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Knorr Bouillon?

Knorr Bouillon is NOVA group 4: ultra-processed. That is the top of the scale and the classification the score penalises most heavily.
