What is Monosodium Glutamate?
Monosodium Glutamate (or sodium glutamate), frequently known as simply MSG, is the sodium salt of glutamic acid. The additive is used in Honey BBQ Seasoning.
Glutamic acid is an amino acid that forms protein found naturally in animal (including humans) and plant proteins. It’s a key component in seaweed extract, the origin of producing monosodium glutamate as a flavor enhancer in foods.
MSG is produced through the fermentation and neutralization of glutamic acid found in plant-based products such as corn, sugar cane, or sugar beets.
Allergens
The FDA has identified eight major food allergens: egg, fish, milk, peanuts, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.
These Honey BBQ chips are made with corn and does not contain any of the common food allergens.
