We don't use MSG in our food!
MSG (monosodium glutamate) - A flavor enhancer
derived from beet sugar. MSG is manufactured through a
process of protein hydrolysis. When a product is 99%
pure MSG, the product is called "monosodium glutamate"
by the FDA and must be labeled as such. However, when
a hydrolyzed protein contains less than 99% MSG, the
FDA does not require that the MSG be identified.
"Autolyzed yeast," "hydrolyzedsoy protein," and "sodium
caseinate," are examples of names givento hydrolyzed
proteins on food labels. MSG is found in most soups,
salad dressings, and processed meats; in some
crackers, bread, canned tuna fish, most frozen entrees,
ice cream, and frozen yogurt. It is often used in "low fat"
foods to make up for the flavor lost when fat is reduced
or eliminated.
