MOST manufacturers either: 1: do not list all ingredients . Currently, this is legally required in very few countries. 2: list chemical / e-number codes / nonsense marketing jargon. Few consumers bother figuring what these mean anyway, and when something goes wrong, the manufacturer can blame the consumer for "being ignorant". @Wash, see "flavour enhancers" on that Royco? Marketing nonsense for "MSG". check: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Flavour_enhancers (like many other manufacturers, they used to label it correctly as "MSG" in the previous years' packaging) That being side, there are FEW consumables available today that do not have MSG ("flavour enhancers") in sufficient quantity. Good luck avoiding this stuff. //MB On 10/1/12, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com> wrote:
I read this same article and had all the reason to think about it, but nothing in the article made me feel threatened. It's good that you've done some work for those of us who were yet to google deep. The counter-article is quite long - possibly someone paid to do it to help the MSG business remain relevant. Personally, I like the true taste of food. If Royco has MSG, then I can tell you we are all doomed by this MSG thing! Hopefully it doesn't.

So I came across:

which, 5 minutes of wikipedia and google reduces to a pile of ash. Here's a good counter article http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2005/jul/10/foodanddrink.features3
