It says it contains "natural flavor." Often this means it contains glutamtes. Does your product have any MSG or similar glutamates to enhance flavor

Don't know. Hopefully it's not "beaver bum" as natural flavor described by FoodBabe.

So sorry I threw out the package and put this on a jar as the zip bag didnt work. I do not know if it contains glutamtes. Sorry. I dont recall.

The ingredients on my package (purchased along with four others about 6 months ago)are: Raw Organic Cranberry Protein, Raw Pea Protein, Raw Organic Hemp Protein, Fungreek, Konjac, Organic Vanilla, Organic Stevia, Medium Chain Triglycerides. The package states that a serving (21g) contains 3.138g of Glutamic Acid, which is a non-essential amino acid that is the main constituent of Glutamates, but is also pretty useful if you like functioning neurons. They say that the way they extract the proteins is "patented, natural, cold extrusion process, free of solvents, GMOs, radiation, artificial colors, and preservatives," so it seems unlikely that there is any MSG or similarly questionable "flavor enhancers." Check out the wikipedia articles on "Glutamic Acid" and "Monosodium Glutamate" for more info on these molecules. ps. This stuff tastes awesome with blueberries and lime.... so hungry right now.....gotta order more!

It does not contain artificial MSG - but if you are hypersensitive it could cause a reaction - I am sensitive MSG - but I have been fine with naturally occurring MSG (like in Soy Sauce).It contains hydrolyzed protein which can cause a reaction similar to MSG - depending on your sensitivity.http://www.naturalgrocers.com/store-info/blog/monosodium-glutamate-msg-naturally-occurring-your-food

No, no MSG in this product. They use the MSG in the BBQ flavor for the same reason most manufacturers do, to get that yummy taste that we are all addicted to! Ha Ha The Sea Salt are a pretty "clean" alternative to fill the crunchy chip craving! Enjoy.

There's MSG but not enough to have a real effect. Probably not even a gram. I having heard anything about chemicals or degraded amino acids. ON is really the only brand I trust.

MSG was first crystallized using this exact species of seaweed in 1908. Glutamic acid is a naturally occurring amino acid in many foods. When this seaweed is boiled and reduced the glutamic acid and the naturally present salts form MSG. So while this product may not list MSG as an additive you are putting the same chemicals in your body. Learn a little about the foods you eat before jumping on a useless hate bandwagon.

The ingredients list no MSG, As for gluten there are no grains listed so I would assume no gluten

msg? don't think so. not my specialty, but i have an allergic reaction when i eat somewhere that uses too much msg, and i drink this stuff in large quantities on a daily basis for years now. i couldn't do it if it had msg. i think they mean vanilla, or cinnamon, or whatever flavor it happens to be. but i'm only a customer. i have the same information available that you have. perhaps you should contact them if you're concerned.

Don't know what the "natural flavor" is, but presence of MSG very doubtful. Would likely be listed, & I would likely get a headache.

Natural flavors mean there are no artificial flavors added. There is no MSG in sweet drops stevia.

I use this product, and the label says exactly what J. Kahn commented on. And I would agree it would be best to check with the manufacturers. My question also to the manufacturer is: what is contained in the natural flavors? But I cannot claim that it does not have maltodextrin, only that it does not show on the label that particular ingredient.

I'm severely allergic to MSG and often react badly to "natural flavors" as well, but I've been able to eat these Pamela ones with no ill affects, so I think it's safe to say it is not MSG.

I looked at my bottle of Chipotle Salad Dressing and saw no MSG listed in the ingredients. I don't recall seeing MSG in other of their products either.

watch out for anything that says natural flavors can be MSG and that's very bad for you.

No. There's no MSG. The ingredients are: Water, Wheat Flour, Soybean, Salt, and Malt. Like Hyesu Joh mentioned it's not super salty, unless you over use it.

I do not know their reasoning. MSG is supposed to make things taste better, but it ruins them for a lot of people. It triggers all kinds of symptoms and makes the product unusable for them. It might help to directly address the problem to Kraft and express your opinion.

According to the label, the ingredients include MSG, maltodextrin and "natural flavorings." There are other brands that are only pork and salt.

The label states only that the product contains "natural flavor" but is not specific as to what that flavor is. My senior cat will not eat it unless I mix the contents into a bit of canned cat food thinned down with water.
