Great choice for a low-salt, low-fat diet
Much of the flavor of traditional broths (canned or homemade) is from fat and salt, so don't expect this to have the same richness. But for anyone on a diet restricted in sodium or fat (or both, in my case), this product is a nice find. It adds both body and taste to many dishes I cook. The only sodium is from the meat itself, so a whole can has fewer than 200 mg, about 1/10 the amount found in most canned broths. There's no fat at all, so a can adds fewer than 30 calories to your receipe. Again, without the fat and salt it can't be as yummy as "Mom's" was, but it's pretty darned good and I recommend it to anyone challenged with cooking tasty food without much sodium or fat.

Factory seconds
I have happily used Health Valley products for as long as the company has existed.
My problem is not with the company or the product but rather with Amazon's shop. I have ordered cases of the beef broth twice from Amazon and both times at least 50% of the cans were significantly damaged. Its as if I was being sold factory seconds. But at a premium retail price. I am very reluctant to buy again because I feel that I am being abused by Amazon's distributor.
