Guest guest Posted January 17, 2002 Report Share Posted January 17, 2002 A check of the Bumble Bee site : http://www.bumblebee.com/feedback/qanda.htm Why does Bumble Bee add hydrolyzed protein to canned tuna? Hydrolyzed protein is added to our canned tuna products as an optional flavoring ingredient. Hydrolyzed protein enhances the flavor of tuna, resulting in a more mild, delicate taste. The hydrolyzed proteins currently used are derived either from casein, the primary protein constituent of milk, or a soy protein. Are Bumble Bee's products gluten free? All our Bumble Bee Brand canned seafood products are gluten free. However, the crackers contained within our Bumble Bee Brand Ready-to-Eat Tuna Salad & Crackers, contain wheat flour. What are the ingredients in the vegetable broth in canned tuna? We add a small amount of flavoring broth made from the following list of vegetables: Carrots; Peas; Green & Red Bell Peppers; Onions; Parsley; Celery; Garlic. *********** Hydrolized protein is MSG.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2002 Report Share Posted January 18, 2002 Alobar, No it isn't in the broth but I got this off the USDA site Are MSG and hydrolyzed protein related? Yes. MSG is the sodium salt of glutamic acid. Glutamic acid is an amino acid, one of the building blocks of protein. It is found in virtually all food and, in abundance, in food that is high in protein, including meat, poultry, cheeses, and fish. Hydrolyzed proteins, used by the food industry to enhance flavor, are simply proteins that have been chemically broken apart into amino acids. The chemical breakdown of proteins may result in the formation of free glutamate that joins with free sodium to form MSG. In this case, the presence of MSG does not need to be disclosed on labeling. Labeling is required when MSG is added as a direct ingredient. I agree with what someone said earlier that breathing seems dangerous after reading the recent posts! But I think I will try to avoid hydrolyzed protein in all it's disguises.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2002 Report Share Posted January 18, 2002 Actually the question and answer were both taken from the USDA web site. I'm often a bit suspect about assertions made by anyone overly fervent in their opinions. But when a govt agency admits something..... figure there must be some truth in it!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2002 Report Share Posted January 19, 2002 ---Greetings Everyone! Here is an excerpt from an article I found at a friend's website online. It might help to explain this additive for those who are in doubt... Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills... Excitotoxin: A substance added to foods and beverages that is known to stimulate neurons to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees! Excitotoxins can be found in ingredients such as monosodium glutamate, aspartame (NUTRASWEET),aspartic acid, cysteine, and hydrolyzed protein. " Excitotoxins: The Taste That kills " , by Dr. Russell Blaylock, describes what excitotoxins are, where they are found, and how they react in the body. Dr. Blaylock, a board certified neurosurgeon, presents the latest research findings to demostrate how exposure to excitotoxins will damage nerve cells in the brain. The use of aspartame, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, and monosodium glutamate in prepared foods and beverages continues to increase on a yearly basis. These substances were approved by the FDA only after repeated and intensive effort by drug company lobbyists. The FDA receives hundreds of complaints each year regarding it's use. Telephone: 1-800-BEAT.MSG SKIP everything with Monosodium Glutamate: MSG as it is called... is a commonly used flavor enhancer. It is not a seasoning but a chemical which " enhances " taste by exciting and increasing the sensitivity of taste buds. MSG affects you, not your food! Msg tricks your brain into thinking the food you are eating tastes good. Manufacturers can use inferior ingredients and thus make the product seem tastier! Inferior products and higher profits prevail at the expense of consumer health! MSG intolerance is not an allergic reaction, but a powerful drug reaction. Common reactions: Migraines,nausea and vomiting,irritable bowel syndrome,asthma attacks,shortness of breath, anxiety or panic attacks,heart palpitations,partial paralysis, balance difficulties, mental confusion, moodswings,behavioral disorders(esp. in children), skin rashes, mouth lesions, depression, and more. Enjoy!!! <grin> JoAnn Guest joguest Friendsforhealthnaturally http://canceranswer.homestead.com/AIM.html http://canceranswer.homestead.com/Goodfoods.html naturalradical@a... wrote: > In a message dated 1/17/02 11:54:28 PM Eastern Standard Time, > llclj@m... writes: > > > > Are MSG and hydrolyzed protein related? > > www.truthinlabeling.org has a lot of info on this subject... > > :-) Gabriela > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
