Monosodium Glutamate Uses

Monosodium Glutamate

Storage

MSG should be kept in a tightly sealed container away from heat and light and stored in a cool, dry place. There, it should last for a year or more.

Specification

According to the FDA, despite people identifying themselves as MSG sensitive, no major differences were found in studies comparing their reaction to MSG versus placebo. 

If eating something makes you feel bad, it’s in your best interest to stop eating it. If this is the case with MSG, remember that the ingredient isn’t just added to foods: It’s also naturally present in certain meat, poultry, cheese, fish, and produce. Labeling is only required when MSG is added as an ingredient (listed as monosodium glutamate).
