Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), identified by CAS 142-47-2, has been a subject of public discussion for decades. However, extensive scientific research and regulatory reviews have consistently affirmed its safety for consumption. As a dedicated manufacturer and supplier of MSG, we believe in providing clear, science-backed information to our clients in the food industry.

Scientific Consensus on MSG Safety
Numerous studies and evaluations by global health organizations have established the safety of MSG when consumed at typical levels. Key findings include:

  • Regulatory Approval: MSG is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is approved for use as a food additive (E621) in the European Union and many other countries.
  • Lack of Consistent Adverse Effects: While some individuals have reported sensitivity to MSG, large-scale, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies have generally failed to demonstrate a reproducible causal link between MSG consumption at normal dietary levels and adverse symptoms. The so-called 'Chinese Restaurant Syndrome' has been largely debunked by scientific evidence.
  • Metabolism: Glutamate, whether consumed as part of food or as MSG, is metabolized in the body similarly to glutamate naturally found in protein-rich foods. It does not accumulate in the body or pose a risk to brain function at typical intake levels.

How MSG Works in Food
MSG is primarily used as a flavor enhancer to provide the 'umami' taste, contributing a savory depth that enhances the overall palatability of food. It is a white crystalline powder (C5H8NO4.Na) commonly packaged in 25kg bags. Its ability to round out and balance flavors makes it a valuable component in a wide range of food products, including soups, sauces, snacks, and processed meats.
