The 12 Top MSG Offenders
The chemical in MSG which seems to cause reactions in so many people is “processed free glutamic acid”. Many migraineurs and others avoid MSG. But it’s not so easy!
First, ignore “No added MSG” or “No MSG” labels. They guarantee nothing.
Top offenders on the label
ajinomoto
autolized (anything)
calcium caseinate
gelatin
glutamate/glutamic (anything)
hydrolized (anything)
malt extract
protein (anything)
senomyx
sodium caseinate
yeast extract/food/nutrient
vetsin
Also beware of those vague terms…
seasonings
spices
flavors (natural OR artificial)
There are many more! Note that these terms likely mean there is a significant amount of hidden processed free glutamic acid, but it still depends on the product.
