on Monosodium Glutamate
Q: How do I know if a food contains monosodium glutamate? Can I just look at the list of ingredients?
A: There are many ways in which food packagers can include monosodium glutamate (or free glutamates, as explained below) in foods without listing the words "monosodium glutamate" in the ingredients.
You may be consuming monosodium glutamate (or free glutamates) in any food that contains:
anything protein fortified,
anything ultra pasteurized,
