Most fast food resturants use MSG. if you go to http://www.wendys.com/food/NutritionLanding.jsp you can find the nutritional facts, but they do not list MSG. MSG does not have to be listed according to the FDA unless it reaches certain limits. Not listing it does not mean it is not there, it can be under other names including flavorings. Below is their Homestyle Chicken Fillet, I never saw my mother use even a tenth of these ingredents.
Homestyle Chicken Fillet
Chicken Breast, Water, Modified Potato Starch, Seasoning (salt, flavor, maltodextrin, modified corn starch, yeast extract, citric acid, disodium guanylate, disodium inosinate, chicken broth, partially hydrogenated soybean/cottonseed oil, soy sauce solids [wheat, soybeans, salt]), Sodium Phosphate.

Kinda makes your mouth water huh?
Notice the words Natural and Artificial Flavorings. If you are worried about MSG and you should be you should also look to your dairy products and carrenagenan another bad one. MSG is often found in many processed foods in the grocery store as well. There are two forms of MSG and Carrenagenan; natural and synthetic and the problem appears to be with the synthetic. Call Wendy's, we talk to lots of manufactures and where they may not tell you on the label they are often very clear when asked specific questions. Don't ask about MSG, ask about "free glutamic acid" and you will get the correct answer for the correct question otherwise they can honestly say no to MSG. Watch out for spices some manufacuters buy spices and have to look at those ingredents, barbaque spices are often a problem.
Remember MSG is not a spice it is not a flavor you can taste it is a chemical that tricks the brain into thinking something tastes goods. Numerous sources clearly state it causes brain damage. For myself I cannot afford to loose any brain cells.
Our WEB site http://healthylife.rmtrain.com/ is working hard to consolidate information on good and bad foods with reliable sources. There is a lot of good information available on the internet, but it is sometimes difficult to find.

I'm not sure what they use but whatever it is, it makes me dizzy. Every time I eat one of their overly-salted Hamburgers (always requesting no salt), there's still a lot of sodium in it and it makes me dizzy. My feeling is that they put more salt in their processed hamburgers than they tell you. Or else something very wicked is in their burgers. They offer no butter, only trans-fat "butter spread" (a false representation) and, recently, they've replaced all their soft cushion benches with hard benches in an effort to "update" their look. (Not relative to this conversation I know:) Would love to see a healthy fast food restaurant open up somewhere.
I want to buy hamburger patties like the ones wendys resteraunts get can I do this
Yes, all fast food hamburgers have MSG. Fast food is one of the major sources of MSG. It is even in the salad dressings. It is common knowledge that fast food is bad for you, so they may as well go all the way and make it terrible for you. MSG makes stuff taste good. It also makes you eat more and is addictive. MSG keeps fast food customers coming back for more.

I'm assuming someone named Wendy?True Answer:Wendy's OLD-FASHIONED HAMBURGERS started in 1963 in Columbus, OH by Dave Thomas. Eventually, it evolved into a worlwide fast-food restuarant franchise.
If you want to work in Wendys then you just need to go into any Wendys store and ask for an application form. Alternatively if you go online to the Wendys site the form will be available there to download.
