Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)

Lots of foods naturally have glutumate present in them. Some especially rich sources that are often prized in cooking to impart lovely savoury/meaty flavours include mushrooms, seaweed, parmesan cheese, tomtatoes, anchovies, oysters, sweet potatoes and even carrots.

A site which gives good information on the levels found in food is in related links.

My guess is that they meant to send k or something.

Glutamic acid.

In a text message, "ha" is often used to express laughter or amusement, similar to "haha." It can indicate that the sender finds something funny or light-hearted. Depending on the context, it may also convey a playful or sarcastic tone.

I contacted Hormel, the manufacturer for "Jennie O" Ground Turkey. I exchanged 5 emails with "Jacki" a "Consumer Response Specialist" who would not give me a straight answers to my questions.

In my first email, I explained I have numerous medical food allergies, so must be extremely careful what I eat. Below are my emailed questions, and the responses verbatim:

1) I asked "what specifically are in the "Natural Flavorings, and does it contain MSG"? Response: "the natural flavoring is rosemary".

2) I then asked "it is just Rosemary oil, or dried herbs... are there other ingredients, and does it contain MSG? I have to ask due to medical food allergies" The 4 word response: "It is rosemary extract".

3) I asked "what else is in the rosemary extract" and "does it contain MSG?" and "I will never buy a product from a company that will not honestly disclose all ingredients." The response: "I contacted our R & D department regarding the rosemary extract. There is no Monosodium Glutamate in the extract."

4) I replied: "Thank you for contacting your R&D department. I will try one more time to ask my question... I will try caps… WHAT IS IN THE ROSEMARY EXTRACT? Specifically what ingredients? Just Rosemary, or what else? Thank you."

5) The response: "I understand your question, NO CAPS NEEDED. I'm sorry, I have provided you the information that I am able to. Jacki, Consumer Response Specialist, Hormel"

So I can confirm that Hormel refuses to disclose all the ingredients in their "Natural Flavorings", which is something I've read on many other message boards, but wanted to find out for myself by giving Hormel the opportunity to be honest about their ingredients. They were not.

In the end -- I DID take a chance, and try "Jennie O 99/1 Ground Turkey". I got a migraine, tight chest, and all my sinuses swelled shut so I couldn't breathe. So there is definitely SOMETHING in there other than what Hormal refers to as "Natural".

MSG, or monosodium glutamate, and monopotassium glutamate are related but not the same. Both are salts of glutamic acid, an amino acid that acts as a flavor enhancer. The key difference lies in their composition: MSG contains sodium, while monopotassium glutamate contains potassium. Each has distinct properties and uses in food, but both serve similar functions in enhancing flavor.

MSG (monosodium glutamate) is a food additive added for its flavour enhancing proporties. Due to a number of people displaying a sensitivity to it, the goverment decided that it had to be included in the ingredients list on food labels.
