Amy's adds no monosodium glutamate (MSG) flavor enhancer directly to any of our products. If you are extremely sensitive to MSG, you may want to avoid foods and ingredients that naturally contain MSG such as Parmesan cheese, soy sauce, tomatoes, hydrolyzed vegetable protein and other ingredients as recommended by your doctor. All ingredients are listed in the ingredient statements on our packages.

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer that is used in a variety of foods prepared at home, in restaurants, and by food processors. We are proud to say that all of our On The Border® products are MSG free. See similar questions...

the country's concern for MSG became apparent we made a concerted effort to remove MSG from almost all of our blends. However, MSG is a flavor enhancer that does make things taste better. What we found is our old-time customers complained about the taste difference when we took out the MSG. These are also people that knew that they did not have MSG allergies. Only an extremely small percentage of our blends still have MSG in for these particular people. See similar questions...

Also, Anonymous, what were the other ingredients? Sometimes glutamate is sneaked in with names and carriers such as autolyzed yeast, hydrolyzed protein, whey solids, etc. Regarding your post on May 31, 06 you say that Triscuits are safe for you? I don't know if it was recently added or what, but the ingredients say "Autolyzed Yeast Extract (contains glutamates)" on the label!! I don't think I would risk eating them. See similar questions...

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer that has been manufactured for nearly 100 years. It is often used as a controversial food additive. Technically it is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, a naturally occurring amino acid which is produced in small quantities by the human body. Litehouse chooses not to enhance our all natural products with this controversial ingredient. See similar questions...

With the passage of the Nevada Clean Indoor Air Act, all indoor areas of restaurants must be smoke-free by December 8, 2006. Smoking is still allowed in outdoor areas of restaurants.

Sugars give our manufacturers the ability to control the glycemic response of the bars. Some sugars, like dextrose, enter the bloodstream rapidly. Others, such as fructose, breakdown much slower. This, along with a balanced combination of protein and fat creates a product that gradually increases blood glucose levels and maintains them for an extended period of time. The result is sustained energy and hunger satisfaction. See similar questions...

Coatings on nutrition bars require a saturated fat to remain solid at room temperature. A saturated fat has a semi-solid consistency while a mono- or poly-unsaturated fat is liquid at room temperature. This point makes it clear that using unsaturated fats to create a coating would be unmanageable. We use a small amount of palm kernel oil (2gm) to create a natural, stabilized one. The uncoated flavors of Balance bars also contain minute amounts of palm kernel oil (less than 0.5gm). See similar questions...
