What You Should Know

Imagine Foods Free Range Chicken Broth (Low Sodium), sold in a 32 fl oz carton, sits in the refrigerated or shelf-stable broth aisle next to other organic bouillons, stocks and boxed broths. You’ll find it near soup bases, canned soups and vegetarian broths, often on a middle shelf where health-oriented brands cluster. Shoppers grab it for weeknight dinners, easy soup-making, or to keep on hand for emergency simmering during storm prep. The brand leans into natural and organic culture — picture a label that emphasizes "Free Range," organic vegetables and a low-sodium promise; it appeals to health-conscious cooks, parents seeking cleaner pantry staples, and people who want convenience without the industrial-image of big-name broths. The carton often sports an earthy, homey design and organic certification marks, plus a “low sodium” halo and the reassuring word “natural” in the ingredient list. Kid-targeting is minimal; instead the pitch is wholesome and kitchen-friendly. Processing context: this is a commercially produced, pasteurized broth packaged for retail; it uses whole-ingredient names but also includes components like “natural flavors,” indicating some industrial formulation steps. Sensory details: pour reveals a clear, light golden liquid with a gentle chicken aroma threaded with onion, garlic and celery; the texture is thin and broth-like rather than gelatinous, with a mild savory/umami finish and a faint sweetness from carrots. Rituals include warming a mug as an easy snack, using it as the base for weeknight soups, risottos or pan sauces, or adding it to a slow cooker as a comforting, quick-start stock.
