Frequently Asked Questions
Is Swanson Chicken Broth safe for a child with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity?
Yes. Swanson's Gluten-Free Chicken Broth variety is certified gluten-free, making it safe for kids with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, and the ingredient list contains no hidden gluten sources.
Does this broth have any artificial colors or flavors my child might react to?
No. Swanson 100% Natural Chicken Broth is free from artificial flavors, artificial colors, MSG, and preservatives, which is reassuring for parents of kids with sensitive stomachs or additive sensitivities.
How much sodium is in a serving, and is that appropriate for kids?
The regular Chicken Broth contains about 510mg of sodium per cup. For parents who want full control, the Unsalted Chicken Broth variety lets you season to your child's needs without any added salt.
Can I use this broth to make chicken and dumplings for my family?
Yes. Swanson Chicken Broth is a popular base for chicken and dumplings, and many parents use leftover cooked chicken from a Swanson-based soup to build the dumplings the next night — a smart, kid-friendly two-for-one meal.
Is this a good base for a cheesy chicken soup my kids will actually eat?
Absolutely. Swanson's mild, clean chicken flavor is an ideal base for cheesy chicken soups, and the no-MSG, no-preservative formula means you can keep it kid-friendly while still delivering real flavor.
Is Swanson a safe choice for a family with multiple food allergies?
Swanson Gluten-Free Chicken Broth is certified gluten-free, non-GMO, and free from MSG, artificial flavors, and artificial colors, which removes a layer of worry for parents managing multiple dietary restrictions.
How does this broth compare to homemade for picky-eater family meals?
Swanson offers a consistent, mild chicken flavor that picky eaters tend to accept, and the carton packaging means there is no metallic aftertaste — both of which make it easier to get a family dinner on the table.
Are the cartons safe to handle around kids in the kitchen?
Yes. The cartons are lightweight, shelf-stable, and have a resealable cap rather than a sharp metal lid, so they are easier and safer to handle in a family kitchen than traditional broth cans.
Can I pack the 14.5 oz carton in a school or camp lunch?
The 14.5 oz single-serve carton is a convenient size for packing a thermos of warm soup for lunch, and because it is shelf-stable, you can keep extras in the pantry as quick meal backups for busy school mornings.
Is the Unsalted Chicken Broth the best option for a baby or toddler?
Many parents prefer the Unsalted Chicken Broth for babies, toddlers, and young children because it has no added sodium and no artificial additives, but you should always consult your pediatrician before introducing new foods.
Will my kids actually notice the difference between this and canned broth?
Many parents report that kids prefer Swanson over canned broths because the carton packaging avoids the metallic taste that cans can impart, and the chicken flavor is cleaner and more appealing in soups and rice dishes.
Can I use this broth to add flavor to plain pasta for a picky eater?
Yes. Cooking pasta in Swanson Unsalted Chicken Broth instead of water is a simple, low-sodium way to add flavor to a kid's meal, and it pairs well with butter, cheese, or a small amount of salt at the table.
Is there anything in this broth I should worry about as a parent?
Swanson 100% Natural Chicken Broth contains no MSG, no artificial flavors or colors, and no preservatives. The main thing to check is the sodium level — if that is a concern, the Unsalted variety gives you complete control.
How do I cook brown rice with Swanson Chicken Broth instead of water?
Use a 1:1 ratio — replace the water in your brown rice recipe with Swanson Unsalted or Regular Chicken Broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed. The rice will come out fluffy and infused with savory chicken flavor.
Can I heat Swanson Chicken Broth in the microwave as a quick soup?
Yes. Pour a serving into a microwave-safe mug or bowl, heat on high for 1–2 minutes, and season as desired. Many customers do this as a quick lunch or a warming, savory beverage.
How do I use Swanson Chicken Broth as a substitute for water when cooking pasta or quinoa?
Simply swap the water in your recipe for Swanson Chicken Broth at a 1:1 ratio. For pasta, finish with a splash of the starchy cooking liquid for an even richer sauce. For quinoa, cook as you normally would and fluff with a fork.
Is Swanson Chicken Broth gluten-free?
The Gluten-Free Chicken Broth variety is certified gluten-free. The other varieties are made without gluten ingredients, but for strict celiac or gluten-sensitive diets you should choose the certified Gluten-Free version.
Does Swanson Chicken Broth work with instant ramen or other noodle dishes?
Yes. Swanson is a popular upgrade for instant ramen — replace the seasoning packet's water with Swanson broth and use only as much seasoning as you want. It also works well for fresh ramen, udon, and pho-style noodles.
What is included in the carton when it arrives?
Each order ships with the selected number of sealed Swanson broth cartons (1, 2, 3, or 4 depending on the pack configuration you choose), in either 14.5 oz or 32 oz sizes. No additional accessories are required — the carton is ready to open and use.
Is this broth safe to drink if it has been left out overnight?
No. Like any perishable food, opened Swanson broth should be refrigerated and consumed within a few days. If left at room temperature for more than two hours, it should be discarded to avoid food-safety risk.
Does Swanson Chicken Broth need to be refrigerated before opening?
No. Unopened Swanson cartons are shelf-stable and can be stored in the pantry. Once opened, the resealable cap allows you to store the carton in the refrigerator for several days.
What is the difference between chicken broth and chicken stock?
Broth is typically made primarily from chicken meat and vegetables and is seasoned for sipping or quick cooking, while stock is simmered longer with bones for a richer body and deeper flavor. Swanson's Chicken Stock variety is a good choice when you want a heartier base for sauces, risotto, or gravy.
