Hidden Sources of MSG

While MSG in its pure form must be labeled, food manufacturers are aware that

consumers have become savvy to the term, “monosodium glutamate, " and are now

adding enormous amounts to our foods under devious and difficult-to-identify

names—with the Food and Drug Administration’s approval.

 

When added to another ingredient (frequently the case with carrageenan, for

instance), the FDA does not require that MSG be listed as such on a label.

 

Food labels are arranged in descending order of ingredient concentrations.

The earlier an ingredient below appears on a label, the higher the likelihood

that the food contains MSG.

This list is periodically updated by our members. Unfortunately, it is

impossible to provide an all-inclusive list because the food industry is always

inventing new labeling deceptions to confound consumers.

 

We also suggest elimination of the excitotoxin, aspartame (Nutrasweet â„¢ et

al.), from your diet, as many people who react to one also react to the other.

 

It is also important to know that MSG can also be found (though not always)

in vaccines, flu shots, IV solutions (as maltodextrin), and in vitamin

supplements. MSG is always present in any gelatin-encapsulated vitamin or

supplement.
