How long is the shelf life of an unopened carton?
An unopened carton has a long shelf life when stored in a cool, dry pantry. Always check the 'best by' date printed on the carton for specific guidance.
What is the difference between chicken broth and chicken stock?
Chicken broth is typically made by simmering chicken meat with vegetables and seasonings, resulting in a lighter, more flavorful liquid that is ideal for soups, grains, and sautés. Chicken stock is usually made with bones, producing a richer body that is often used as a base for sauces and reductions. Swanson 100% Natural Chicken Broth is a versatile option that works well in place of stock for most everyday recipes.
