Don't they do garlic stock stock anymore? And what's happened to the chicken stock, it tastes absolutely awful, really fake flavour! I'm so dissapointed

I don't think there are any decent stock powders, Knorr is possibly less toxic tasting than Maggi but only just.

I buy Continental, even bypassed Maggi at Countdown and went to New World for Cont, buy it every time,, I'm glad I bypassed Maggi then and often Maggi products have a lot of sugar in them..

I usually try to make my own stocks but if pushed I use Vegeta stock powder, they do both Chicken and Vegetable.

Thanks all... I will try something different, I'll never go back to Maggi stock!

Try MASSELLS stock powder it's excellent. I agree Maggi is dreadful for flavour but have thoroughly enjoyed MASSELLS products. Not full of additives etc either. From a lot of outlets. I get mine either from the Health Food Shop or Binn Inn generall but have seen it in many places. Chicken, Beef and Vegetable.

They are fake..even though Alison Holst uses them I am surprised, campbells or real from newworld is much nicer and less salt with no artifitial after-taste

I'm missing the 'tubes' of stock powder as I find the tubs harden up after a while. The 'tubes/sticks' were great but obviously a five minute wonder

Try Oxo cubes. Their Beef stock is excellent and I see they also do chicken and a vegie one.But when ever possible I make my own.Do it when time is available and freeze till needed.

I thought the chicken stock powder had a funny smell to it.Think I will try a different brand next time.

yip i only eva use oxo cubes... the chicken ones mixed up with salt and sprinkled over hot chips is yummy.

Me too-'been there, done that' with most of the others mentioned and I still return to my oxo cubes.
I find the Campbells Real Stock - chicken and vege I have tried - far too salty - I'm not a great fan of salt and I can always add some if needed but it's hardremoving it !!Oxo have just the right taste - for my taste anyway!!!
Edited - spelling errors!

Why is magi now stock powder and seasoning its horrible, why is it not just stock powder, their web site even says stock powder not stock and seasoning only. Ahhhhhh

It's a shame that they've mucked about with it - Maggi always used to be one of those trusted brands - why did they feel the need to change it! Apart from the obvious - $$$.

Definitely the OXO cubes, and BISTO. used both years.Maggi has changed its contents and also its prices. .so have gone back to the tried and trusted.

A friend recommended Massells and I wouldn't use anything else now if I haven't any homemade available.Several things I have made recently and the only difference in the recipe has been the addition of Massels and the family have asked what I have done different to my usual recipe.

vegeta has a gourmet stock which is the vegetable one. I use vegeta for everything on roast potatoes i just spray a bit of oil and toss in some vegeta. Really makes the dish imo.
