Key Details:

• Key Claims:
  • Low Sodium: Contains reduced sodium compared to standard beef bases (though exact sodium content varies by batch; check the label for precise figures).
  • No Added MSG: Free from monosodium glutamate, which some consumers avoid due to sensitivity or preference.
  • Gluten-Free: Suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, as it is processed in a facility that avoids cross-contamination with gluten-containing ingredients.
