Sainsbury's chicken stock cube

Breakdown

Not fully ranked yet

Sainsbury's chicken stock cube scores 55/100 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.

Sainsbury's chicken stock cube lists 11 ingredients, starting with Salt, Palm Oil, Corn Starch, Yeast Extract and Refined Chicken Fat. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 55/100 Sainsbury's chicken stock cube lands mid-scale — below the typical score in soups & broths, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in soups & broths is Kirkland Signature Organic Chicken Bone Broth at 72/100.
