"No more Asian food and I scour ingredient labels looking for MSG. If MSG is listed, I put the product back."

Names of ingredients that contain processed free glutamic acid (MSG)

The list has gotten longer since the last time I Googled it.

You got to post a link before I did. MSG is everywhere, and rampant in many many foods or flavorings. Hard to escape it.

And as Appy said— it is in many Chinese ingredients, and will be present in the food, even without adding the MSG outright.

I taught Chinese Cooking for many years, and would read the ingredient list of the sauces that gave flavor to the different dishes, to my classes. You don’t escape it by not using the actual MSG shaker.

Japanese food is supposed to be notorious, but they never get the attention that Chinese food does.
