eyeman Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Just browsing around the big shop today and noticed a bottle of hot sauce, incidentally it's the same one that appears in Foodland restaurant condiment tray since a few weeks ago, it is tasty so was going to take one home, No MSG added label so that's fine, price ok, until I looked at the ingredients.. which explicitly says MSG, can anyone decipher what's going on here? or have we reached a new TIT It's this one https://www.tops.co.th/en/sriracha-panich-yellow-chilli-sauce-230g-8851954113733? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chickenslegs Posted January 7 Popular Post Share Posted January 7 MSG occurs naturally in some fruits/veg. The label says no MSG is "added". Maybe that's the explanation. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeman Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 (edited) That's interesting, but I would of thought it would be ingredients specifically added listed only, I'll have a google, this reminds of the nearby lady that had No MSG signs all over her cook-to-order shop but most of brown sauces in the kitchen I saw had MSG added to it - I learnt to remember the designs and cap colors of the ones to avoid after some helpful translating Edited January 7 by eyeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenslegs Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I just looked up INS260, which is also on the list of contents. It's a preservative and acidity regulator. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Numbering_System_for_Food_Additives 555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruit Trader Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Contains acid regulator no MSG no preservative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdemundo Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Turns out MSG is basically harmless. Apparently knowingly consuming it makes some white people feel less white. Other than that, only certain people with a specific MSG sensitivity need avoid it. https://health.clevelandclinic.org/is-msg-really-harmful 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The connection is that it appears on the same label of contents, and the product declares that no preservatives are added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puccini Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I am surprised that the FDA allowed the inclusion of the text that translates as "no flavour enhancer MSG" in the list of ingredients. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's acetic acid - in other words, vinegar. No big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The phrase actually reads (in transcription) mây sày phǒŋchuurót MSG meaning "no add MSG". There's no added MSG in it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there a global and logical expectation that ingredients are what's included, and ordered by absolute quantity, bizarre Edited January 8 by eyeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
