although MSG is now illegal, it is hiding behind many many new names in our food. and this is even happening in health food stores. heres a small list of some of the names it is suspected of hiding under:
These are the names of some of the MSG-containing ingredients often found in Health Food stores:
amino acids
autolyzed yeast
citric acid
glutamate
glutamic acid
hydrolyzed protein
monopotassium glutamate
monosodium glutamate
protein
whey protein concentrate
also, watch out for low-fat or non-fat labeled foods, msg is often found in them, especially non-fat or low-fat milks.
and that is just a tiny little bit of information on hidden msg, if you want to see more go to this link http://www.truthinlabeling.org/II.WhereIsMSG.html
sooo much good info on that page.
i know these are a lot of ingredients to remember, but make a list, or if you have a smart phone TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT especially when grocery shopping.
