  1. I wish the breakfast sauce, and all other ‘sauces’ did not contain derivatives of MSG. If you reference ‘truthinlabeling.org’ there is a comprehensive list. Many people have side effects from this ‘added’ preservative/flavor enhancer’ and cannot pinpoint it. It is a serious hidden health concern.
