Frequently Asked Questions
Is this broth safe to use in meals for the whole family?
Yes. It contains no added MSG, no preservatives, and no artificial flavors, which makes it a family-friendly foundation for soups, grains, and braises that kids eat at the family table.
Is it gluten free for kids with gluten sensitivities?
Yes. The broth is certified gluten free, so it can be used in meals for family members who need to avoid gluten without changing the rest of the recipe.
Can I use this broth to cook rice and grains for kids' lunches?
Absolutely. Cooking rice, quinoa, or couscous in chicken broth instead of plain water adds mild flavor that picky eaters tend to enjoy, and it works well for lunchbox portions.
Does the 99% fat free formula make it appropriate for kids' meals?
Yes. The 99% fat free formulation keeps meals lighter, which is helpful when you are building a balanced plate for children without sacrificing flavor.
Is the Swanson by Campbell's brand a name I can trust for family cooking?
Yes. Swanson is a long-standing legacy brand under Campbell's, widely recognized by parents and used in familiar family recipes for generations.
Is this a good pantry staple to keep stocked for kid-friendly weeknight dinners?
Yes. With six resealable 32 oz cartons in the pantry, you can pull one out for a quick chicken and rice dinner, a simple soup, or a braised vegetable side without an extra grocery run.
Can I use this broth to make homemade chicken noodle soup for a sick day?
Yes. It is a natural fit for classic comfort soups, and the pre-built mirepoix of carrots, celery, and onions gives you a flavorful base for kid-friendly chicken noodle soup with very little prep.
How does this broth compare to canned broth when cooking for kids?
Unlike cans, which can leave a metallic taste and require transferring leftovers, the resealable twist-cap carton keeps broth fresh in the fridge and is easier to pour when cooking for busy families.
Is the carton safe to handle around children in a busy kitchen?
Yes. The carton is a standard sealed liquid package that stores in the pantry or fridge, and the resealable cap keeps the contents contained between uses.
Is this a good option for packing into lunchbox grain bowls?
Yes. You can cook a batch of rice or quinoa in the broth at the start of the week, portion it into lunch containers, and add proteins and vegetables for ready-to-go kids' meals.
Will my kids notice the difference if I switch from water to this broth in recipes?
Most families find that grains, soups, and sauces cooked in chicken broth taste richer and more savory, which is usually a positive with kids who prefer flavorful, familiar food.
How do I use Swanson chicken broth in everyday cooking?
Use it as the liquid base for soups, stews, and chilis, cook rice, quinoa, couscous, or risotto in it for added flavor, use it to deglaze pans when building pan sauces and gravies, or use it as a braising liquid for chicken, turkey, and vegetables.
How should I store the cartons before and after opening?
Store unopened cartons in a cool, dry pantry. After opening, reseal the twist cap and refrigerate the remainder, using it within a few days for best flavor, or freeze portions in airtight containers for longer storage.
Can I freeze the broth in portions for meal prep?
Yes. Pour leftover broth into ice cube trays, silicone molds, or labeled freezer bags so you can thaw exactly the amount you need for grains, pan sauces, or single-serving soups.
Is this broth compatible with slow cookers and Instant Pots?
Yes. Swanson chicken broth works with slow cookers, Instant Pots, pressure cookers, Dutch ovens, and standard pots and pans, making it a flexible base for braises, soups, and grain cooking.
Is it compatible with low-sodium or sodium-restricted diets?
This specific variety is a classic chicken broth. If you need a low-sodium option, look for a Swanson low-sodium or unsalted version, or dilute this broth with water to reduce the sodium content per serving.
What is included in the 6-pack and what should I buy separately?
The pack includes six 32 oz resealable twist-cap cartons of Swanson Chicken Broth, totaling 192 oz. You do not need to buy anything separately to use it, though recipes may call for additional ingredients like proteins, vegetables, grains, or herbs.
Is the packaging safe and food-grade?
Yes. The cartons are sealed food-grade aseptic packaging designed to keep the broth shelf-stable and safe until opened, with no preservatives required.
Is this product safe for people with common food allergies?
The broth is certified gluten free and contains no added MSG, preservatives, or artificial flavors, but it is made with chicken and contains ingredients from celery and onions, so always review the full ingredient list for personal allergy concerns.
What is the difference between chicken broth and chicken stock?
Chicken broth is typically made by simmering meat, sometimes with bones, and is seasoned for a lighter, more savory flavor, while chicken stock is usually simmered longer with more bones for a richer, gelatinous body. For most home recipes the two are used interchangeably, and Swanson chicken broth works well wherever a recipe calls for stock or broth.
