Review: Expensive - Only no salted canned chicken I’ve found. A little pricey however. Review: Convenient - The nutrition information is different on the cans I received compared to the item described. It seems salty to me and I am not sure how much salt I removed by draining it. I have health issues that are improving by eating less sodium and potassium and a lot of praying. The chicken is a canned product and both the white and dark meat taste good. It is a canned product and things are limited by the process. ## Features - 100% real meat; fully cooked, ready to eat meat chunks - 98% fat free; 9 grams of protein per serving - A good source of protein - No refrigeration necessary until opened; no prep or clean up required - Gluten free and nutritious; perfect for a quick tasty meal ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000FIUQAQ | | Brand | Hormel | | Brand Name | Hormel | | Coin Variety 1 | Chicken | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,855 Reviews | | Diet Type | Gluten Free | | Diet type | Gluten Free | | Flavor | Chicken Breast No Salt | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00037600037686 | | Item Form | Chunk | | Item Package Weight | 2.35 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 5 Ounces | | Item weight | 5 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Hormel | | Model Number | 03768 | | Number of Items | 12 | | Number of Pieces | 12 | | Package weight | 2.35 Kilograms | | Part Number | 3768 | | Size | 5 Ounce (Pack of 12) | | Specialty | Gluten Free | | UPC | 037600037686 | | Unit Count | 60.0 Grams | | Variety | Chicken | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Hormel - **Item weight:** 142 g - **Specialty:** Gluten Free - **Diet type:** Gluten Free - **Package weight:** 2.35 Kilograms ## Images ![Premium Chunk Chicken Breast in Water, 5 oz (12 pack), No Salt Added, 98% Fat Free, Ready-to-Eat, 9g Protein, Gluten-Free Canned Meat, Keto Friendly, Great for Snack, Lunch & Dinner Recipes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OzomkadhL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the sodium content?** A: People are reading the info incorrectly. There are 240mg of sodium per serving and 80mg of cholesterol. **Q: what is the shelf life on sealed canned chicken like this?** A: I am not sure of the expiration date on our cans, but items that are canned like this will last many, many years. We keep canned goods like this in our emergency food supply. When we had to actually go into our emergency stock, following Hurricane Andrew in Baton Rouge, we ate some canned tuna and some chicken that were several years old, and they were fine. **Q: It states no salt added, so why is there sodium in this ?** A: We do not add additional salt to the Hormel® Premium No Salt Added Canned Chunk Chicken Breast in Water 5 ounce. The salt you see in the ingredients panel is naturally occurring in the product. **Q: What Does It Taste Like?** A: It tastes like chicken breast meat... Which is what it is. Flavor is great. I use it to flavor rice, noodles, white chili, etc., as well as sandwich spreads and salads. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expensive *by M***R on 18 June 2026* Only no salted canned chicken I’ve found.

The issue with canned meats is that often A LOT of salt is added. And that much salt is never good for any creature (humans or pets). I don't really like a lot of commercial pet foods. They have odd preservatives, bi-products, and often have some sort of additive from china. So I needed an alternative canned meat food with no salt. Our local store in my rural Alaskan village does not sell canned meats with no salt. And on Amazon- I'll admit the price of these was very expensive. But the price of these cans were also comparable to expensive pet food brands. And I'd rather opt for human-quality food for the same price. So I bought these cans. The cans come exactly as they say. Chunked WHITE chicken breast in water with no salt added. These cans would be amazing for baby food. I've pureed this food multiple times for my ferrets and they love it. My cats adore it. I often mix in a bit of raw egg as a 'sauce'. They eat it up. The cans come about 3/4 full of meat, with 1/4 water added. I've tried a bit myself. The chicken has a really nice taste- and you can tell it really is breast meat. It's quality white meat. Very good. And I love that there's no salt added. I think it makes it taste even better. And then you can judge how much seasoning you want to add on your own, rather than the canners deciding for you. The ingredients on this can literally just include "chicken meat, water, corn starch". The corn starch creates kind of a thick sauce out of the water. It's safe for animals to eat- as well as humans. I keep the sauce rather than drain it, when pureeing this food. It helps get a smoother texture. If you were going to use these cans for baby food I suggest keeping the sauce with the chicken. It purees really nicely. The chunk size is perfect for cats, small dogs, and ferrets. And I HIGHLY recommend this canned food for the purpose as a pet-food supplement. Add in a bit of raw egg for extra protein, and a 1/8th teaspoon of bone meal and you have a super high quality meal for your little furry children. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hormel Premium No Salt Added Canned Chunk Chicken Breast in Water, 5 Ounce (Pack of 12) - Maruchan Ramen Chicken, Instant Ramen Noodles, Ready to Eat Meals, 3 Oz, 24 Count - Swanson White Premium Chunk Canned Chicken Breast in Water, Fully Cooked Chicken, 4.5 OZ Can (Case of 24) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/718122649-premium-chunk-chicken-breast-in-water-5-oz-12-pack](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/718122649-premium-chunk-chicken-breast-in-water-5-oz-12-pack) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-21*
