How do you know what has MSG in it?


Question Posted Tuesday June 30 2009, 12:50 am

How can MSG allergy sufferers identify what contains MSG when it's not required to be listed as an ingredient? Most restaurants seem to use MSG in their food preparation, but it's not noted on the menu (but peanut products are). It can even be listed generically as "natural flavorings" as an ingredient. My friend developed a sudden and severe allergy to MSG, and died an agonizing death from anaphylactic shock from ingesting MSG. She specifically asked the person selling the product if it contained MSG, but he said it didn't (don't think he actually knew it did). Can't something be done to help people with MSG allergies so that they're aware of what foods they must avoid for health reasons?

Many restraunts will have a sign or poster saying that food either contains or does not contain MSG. But with restraunts will no listings, ask to speak with the manager and ask the manager to have a visible notification of the MSG amount.
