About CHICKEN BASE
Member's Mark Chicken Base is a concentrated flavoring product sold under the Member's Mark brand, the premium private-label line of Wal-Mart Stores associated with Sam's Club warehouse club locations. Chicken base is a highly concentrated paste or dry formulation used as a starting point for chicken-flavored soups, sauces, gravies, and broths. The product is categorized under other soups.
Mechanically separated chicken is the primary ingredient, providing the chicken protein and fat foundation. Salt is the second ingredient by weight, consistent with the high sodium content typical of concentrated flavor bases. Maltodextrin and modified food starch serve as carrier and bulking agents. Chicken fat provides richness and chicken-specific lipid flavor compounds. Sugar adds a mild sweetness that balances the salt. Hydrolyzed corn protein is a glutamate-containing flavor enhancer. Onion powder, yeast extract, turmeric, and chicken broth powder add flavor depth and color. Disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate are nucleotide-based umami enhancers that synergize with glutamates to amplify savory flavor. Natural flavors and oleoresin paprika (a natural colorant from paprika extract) complete the formulation.
Nutritionally, this concentrate provides 250 calories per 100 grams, with no protein recorded (potentially a data entry artifact given the mechanically separated chicken content), 33.33 grams of carbohydrates, and 16.67 grams of fat per 100g. At a 6-gram serving, the actual caloric and macronutrient contribution per use is minimal. Allergens include soy from hydrolyzed corn protein sub-processing (verify label). The product is not suitable for vegetarian or vegan diets.
