The Ingredient Breakdown

When determining if a processed food is truly safe for a gluten-free diet, we have to look beyond the front-of-box claims and analyze the specific components of the flavor base. In the case of this Organic Broth, the primary concern is always the yeast extract. While yeast extract is a fantastic flavor enhancer derived from fermented yeast, it can theoretically be derived from barley. However, in certified organic products and standard American food manufacturing, yeast extract is almost exclusively derived from sugar beets or molasses to avoid allergen labeling requirements. There is no barley here.

Next, we examine the organic chicken flavor base. This is a concentrated powder designed to mimic the savory notes of bone broth. It relies on organic onion powder, organic carrot juice concentrate, and organic turmeric for depth and color. None of these are gluten-containing grains. The use of organic cane sugar provides a slight sweetness to balance the salt, but it is naturally gluten-free. Finally, the organic natural flavor is a catch-all term, but in this context, it is used to round out the savory profile without introducing wheat starch or maltodextrin derived from gluten sources.

Nutritional Value

From a nutritional standpoint, this broth is designed to be a low-impact flavoring agent rather than a caloric staple. A standard serving contains a negligible amount of calories, usually under 15 calories, making it an excellent tool for weight management. The sodium content is the primary nutritional metric to watch; because broth relies on sea salt and the sodium inherent in yeast extract, it can be moderately high in sodium. However, for those monitoring blood pressure, it is still significantly lower than using a bouillon cube. There is a trace amount of sugar (from the organic cane sugar and carrot juice concentrate), but it is less than 1 gram per serving, which fits into virtually any diet plan, including Keto or Paleo, without spiking insulin levels.
