MSG hides his neurotoxic self legally under so many words on the ingredient list. Among others, it can be inside the words ‘flavoring,’ ‘natural flavors,’ ‘spice,’ ‘yeast extract,’ etc.
To find chips without msg, you need to stay away from all flavored chips except some of the sour flavors like salt and vinegar or limon. 99.9% of canned or pouched or boxed soups in supermarkets have it. Most chips and crackers contain it.
And like logi said, avoid the chips made with rancid seed oils like canola. Look for avocado or coconut oils.

A few of our sons have issues with MSG such that we hide things like Ramen noodle packages from them. I’m not a big Ramen fan. But some of our children love them and occasionally talk their father into buying them. I am never told of their existence because they are immediately hidden to prohibit certain sons from having them. I seldom allow Takis or other MSG laden chips/snacks into the house.
The other day, our son was at a neighbor’s house. The neighbors were eating lunch at some point, and they asked our son if he wanted some Ramen noodles. He hesitated. They thought he was being polite. The mom assured him that it was ok and that he could have them. He ate them. She texted me at about the time he was done eating. She described his hesitation and thought he was just cute and sweet. Ahhhhhh! I explained his Ramen issues. She did not get to see the Jekyl and Hyde transformation the following day. But we did. He was a fidgety nut, pest, instigator, almost victim of violence from older siblings. We reminded him of why he isn’t allowed Ramen or certain chips or other garbage foods.
One of our older sons was equally bad with MSG. He is at the point in life in which he wants to eat foods that are good for him rather than a bunch of junk. And he isn’t at home any more, so yay! :-)
