FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the recommended mixing ratio? For a standard beef broth, use approximately 20g of MCLEAN Beef Soup Base per 1 liter of boiling water. Adjust as needed to achieve your desired intensity.

Does this base contain meat products? While it features natural beef flavors and a robust profile, it relies heavily on hydrolyzed proteins and glucose solids for its umami. Please check the specific ingredient label for "Vegetarian" suitability if required.

How should I store such a large tub? Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the lid is snapped shut after every use. In the dry climate of Calgary or the prairies, this product stays free-flowing for a long time if kept away from steam.

Is this base gluten-free? The base contains hydrolyzed corn and soy protein but no direct wheat ingredients. However, it is processed in a facility that may handle gluten; please refer to the tub for the most current cross-contamination warnings.

How does this compare to store-bought bouillon cubes? MCLEAN is a professional-grade base. It dissolves faster, has a more complex flavor profile (including yeast extracts and natural aromatics), and offers significantly better value for high-volume use.

Can I use this as a dry seasoning? Yes! It makes an excellent dry rub for brisket or as a seasoning for burger patties. Just remember it contains salt, so you likely won't need to add extra.
