What You Should Know

College Inn Broth, Chicken, Fat Free is presented as a no-fuss pantry staple: a 32-oz carton of clear, amber chicken broth that sits in the soup and broth aisle near canned soups, bouillon cubes, and other boxed stocks. You’ll often find it alongside cooking staples like canned tomatoes, pasta, and packaged gravy mixes. It’s a product shoppers pull for weeknight dinners, soup-making on cold evenings, or when prepping staples for a batch-cooking session. The brand projects heritage and reliability — College Inn reads as a longstanding, approachable name aimed at home cooks and families who want a familiar base for recipes without fuss. Marketing leans practical and value-oriented rather than gourmet; labeling highlights “Fat Free,” “Roasted Chicken Broth,” and “Natural Flavors,” creating a health-halo of lightness and wholesomeness despite modest ingredient processing. There’s no organic or non-GMO certification displayed, and the packaging avoids kid-focused characters or bright candy-like branding. In plain terms the product is a processed, ready-to-use broth made from concentrated stocks and flavor extracts rather than from a single-ingredient fresh broth; it’s shelf-ready and made for convenience. Sensory notes: heat releases a warm roasted-chicken aroma with savory umami notes from yeast extract and concentrated vegetables; the liquid is thin, clear, and broth-like, not oily (fat-free) — best experienced simmering in a pot, used to deglaze pans, or sipped as a light restorative. The typical ritual is quick: open the carton, warm on the stove, and add noodles, vegetables, or use as a cooking liquid when time is short.

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

The product contains industrially formulated ingredients like "natural flavors" and yeast extract and is a ready-to-use packaged broth, consistent with ultra-processed foods (NOVA 4). Its short ingredient list belies manufacturing steps and additives that move it beyond minimally processed or simply processed categories.
