Knorr Professional Chicken Bouillon Base

Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

Knorr Professional Chicken Bouillon Base scores 26/100 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 Professional Chicken Bouillon Base lists 16 ingredients, starting with Salt, Monosodium Glutamate, Corn Starch, Potassium Chloride and Powdered Cooked Chicken. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 26/100 Knorr Professional Chicken Bouillon Base scores worse than most soups & broths we have scored. A higher-scoring option in soups & broths is Kirkland Signature Organic Chicken Bone Broth at 72/100.
