Bouillon Cube

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 9 ingredients to avoid

Knorr Bouillon Cube 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.

Knorr Bouillon Cube lists 22 ingredients, starting with Salt, Palm Oil, Monosodium Glutamate, Corn Starch and Hydrogenated Palm Oil. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Knorr Bouillon Cube 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.
