Not confirmed. Kroger’s regular chicken broth isn’t labeled gluten-free.
Its ingredients don’t include wheat, but it does list yeast extract and natural flavor, and both can come from gluten sources. Without a gluten-free label, there’s no way to know from the carton.
Why broth needs care
Broth seems simple, but some brands use wheat-based flavorings, yeast extract or hydrolyzed wheat protein. That’s why it’s worth buying broth that says gluten-free on the front.
What to buy instead
- Look for broth labeled gluten-free. Kroger stores carry options like Progresso Gluten Free Classic Chicken Broth.
- Or make your own from chicken, vegetables and water. It freezes well.
How to check
- Look for “gluten-free” on the package.
- Scan the ingredients for wheat, barley, rye, malt and regular soy sauce.
- Check the label every time. Recipes and factories change.
