If you are trying to avoid MSG

Not criticizing what anyone eats - i know its tough to even keep food down some days, but MSG is hidden in SO MANY things.  And in the scheme of things you might not be conscerend about it as the gov consideres it safe and its probably not an issue for you.

It gives me nasty migraines so I've found out the hard way its hidden all over the place, often labeled as sodium caseinate and other such things https://www.truthinlabeling.org/hiddensources.html

Nacho Chips and other snack foods w/ cheese

Canned & Instant Soups, Boullion cubes

Instance Rice / Noodles - esp ones with Dairy

Gelatin (very trace amounts)

Hot Dogs and lunch meats

Fast Foods - Taco Bell, KFC worst offenders and ff sausages

 I had no idea how many things MSG was in before I developed an issue!  Its amazing how much of it is in kid friendly foods too.

so if you trying to avoid it best to get reading labels or better yet avoid buying things in packages!

    Hey thanks for this!

    Most people think Chinese food when you say MSG and will try to avoid it but don't realize they eat it in other things every day.

    Glad you posted this because most people don't know this. It's often labeled as "spices" as well. DH get's migraines from it so we have been in the habit of looking for it.

    Its so hidden, i've had many accidental MSGing a little bit now and then is probably no big deal but I'd hate for someone to not realize and wish someone shared the info!

    I'm highly allergic to MSG, so I learned quickly that basically, if it's prepackaged...it has MSG.
