Recipes are so vague about saltedness of stocks and broths! They list it for butter, at least sometimes, but never for stocks. Luckily they all taste pretty much the same to me. I assume that unsalted is healthier, so I pick that one if I have a choice. It was just fine! Looks weirdly dark and foggy, but perhaps that's just stock for ya.

What is there to say that hasn't already been said about this Beef Stock? It tastes different from chicken stock, a stronger flavor, but otherwise the same things apply: it's safe, it works, it doesn't do much for me but it is in many recipes. I am glad there is a safe option.

I didn't realise Campbell's owned Swanson, but it makes sense -- they are big broth players. So, I needed stock for a gazpacho recipe, and although there were many choices, this one actually had the clearest ingredients -- it's just "stock" (assuming chicken + water?) and veg that aren't beans and peas. So, I got this one, and I consumed the consequent soup with no issues. I can't actually speak to the taste because I didn't try it on its own, but I guess it's pretty mild and wet. I can't complain, and it didn't kill me, so I'd definitely get this again. Word to the wise -- it says use within 14 days of opening!
