MSG IN LABELS 4: THEY WORK TOGETHER!



Names of ingredients that work synergistically with MSG to enhance flavor.  If they are present for flavoring, so is MSG.

Disodium 5’-guanylate (E 627)
Disodium 5’-inosinate (E-631)
Disodium 5'-ribonucleotides (E 635)

Disodium guanylate and disodium inosinate are relatively expensive food additives that work synergistically with inexpensive MSG. Their use suggests that the product has MSG in it. They would probably not be used as food additives if there were no MSG present.

Further, E 627 & E 631 are not permitted in foods for infants and young children, while E 635 is not permitted in Australia.
