The Truth About MSG in your Food
.   Six Pound Jugs of MSG available for wholesale purchase
In my journeys for seeking out the highest quality ingredients to feed my clients, I also come across the worst. This how I see MSG- right in the bulk spice isle of my local wholesale food outlet. And they sell a bunch too, this display was 5 jugs wide. Now lets move into the restaurant kitchens. Who is putting this into your food? How much is that person getting paid an hour? Can they follow a recipe? The bottom line is, MSG is chemical that restaurants can freely sprinkle over the food like Pixie dust.
Now, when I tested for my Food Manager State Certification, I was taught that MSG was considered a chemical contamination in food. My manual states, " When these substances are used in the food preparation, the establishment must post a public advisory such as "Some foods may contain sulfites or MSG; ask your server for details". I have yet to see a sign like that in any restaurant where I know there is MSG in the food.
MSG is a sneaky trick, it's a chemical excito-toxin, meaning it effects our neurological system, our brains. Food doesn't actually taste better with MSG, our tongues are stimulated so our brains "think" it tastes better". It also works as an appetite stimulant, so you eat more, because it tastes so good, and then you eat more because it tastes so good... well you get the idea- more food, more money, more calories for you.
The common school of thought is, in moderate amounts, MSG won't cause harm. But how much are you taking in? The amounts in the food supply have quadrupled since the 1960's.
The FDA doesn't require MSG to appear on food labels, even though over the past half-century, research has suggested the flavor enhancer could add to health risks ranging from blindness to migraines, nausea, joint pain, sleep disorders, heart irregularities and more.
Spotting MSG
- If it tastes too good to true, it has MSG.
- If you bought it pre packaged from anywhere but whole foods, it has MSG
- if it came from a drive through...it has MSG
- if the label says, calcium caseinate, dry milk powder, hydrolyzed soy protein, and yeast nutrient, hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, autolyzed yeast, hydrolyzed yeast, yeast extract, soy extracts, and protein isolate, just to name a few...It has MSG. The FDA allows MSG to re-name it'self :)
Chef E's Tip: If you find MSG in your favorite spice blends, start cutting your exposure in 1/2 by adding equal parts of sea salt to your seasoning blend. You'll find a little goes a long way.
