College Inn Broth, Beef, Fat Free & Low Sodium

College Inn Broth, Beef, Fat Free & Low Sodium is a classic, shelf-stable canned beef broth you’d find on the supermarket’s soup and broth aisle, shelved beside boxed stocks, bouillon cubes, canned soups and gravy mixes. It reads like a pantry staple for cooks who want a quick savory base without the fat of traditional stock. Shoppers pull it during weekly meal-prep trips, when stocking pantry essentials for cold-weather cooking, or when planning simple weeknight dinners and restorative sick-day meals. College Inn is presented as an established, home-cooking brand—a no-frills, value-oriented name that appeals to multi-generational households and home cooks seeking convenience and familiarity rather than gourmet claims. The front label leans on utility: “Fat Free & Low Sodium” wording creates a health-halo, while ingredient notes like “natural flavor” hint at authenticity; there’s no organic certification or child-targeted graphics. The product is processed and shelf-stable, made by concentrating and packaging broth with added flavoring agents common in commercial broths. Sensory notes: the liquid is thin and clear with a warm, savory beef aroma and a clean, salty umami taste often elevated by yeast extract and natural flavors; when heated it steams aromatic notes of onion and roasted beef. Packaging is a 14.5 oz metal can with a ring-pull or standard can opener use—rituals include opening, simmering in a pot as the base for soups, braises, gravies or simply sipping from a mug when seeking comfort. It lives at the intersection of convenience cooking and traditional kitchen routines in American grocery culture.
