Does the Sea Salt flavor have MSG? I noticed from the comments that the BBQ flavor does. A lot of responses in such a short period of time. I'm sold, I have to try them now :) Thanks to everyone that answered so quickly.

I can tell you about the original flavor (very tasty.) Have a bag here and those contain: Cassava; palm, sunflower or safflower oil; evaporated cane juice; sea salt; garlic powder; natural vitamin E to preserve freshness. Also notes "Contains soy." I don't know if that is because they also process products with soy and are acknowledging the possibility of cross-contamination? Here is their phone number: 1-866-98-ARICO

Yes, it does taste salty or rather it leaves a very salty taste in your mouth. After the reviews here, I was surprised and disappointed. Will not buy again.

There will be a slight fish flavor just because fish is the base of the sauce. I know there are some who use it as a dipping sauce, but, that would be too salty for me, personally. Experiment. Try it in stirfrys.

I agree with everyone else. Have ordered it online And bought at Trader Joe's and never had a fishy taste. Maybe take it back, and/or try it again and give it another shot. It's worth it!

Jennifer's answer to the ingredients for the "Shirakiku" Tsuyu soup base is correct. There is NO, may I repeat, NO MSG in this soup base. I am very sensitive to MSG and even if it had MSG but didn't mention it (which it does not) I would know! The main reason I use this Tsuyu base as other brands of Tsuyu do have MSG in them.

It is saltless. I wondered about this heading too. I think it's a print mistake--somebody left off the "less." Anyway, I own one; no salt.

I don't have my pkg anymore, but I do know that as far as the sodium content, you are getting less because you don't have to use as much as regular table salt that has been bleached, and had all the beneficial nutrients removed. When you use regular processed table salt all you are getting is sodium chloride. Just salty flavor. No other benefit! I don't use anything else. Even some of the sea salt being sold at the grocery stores have been processed to the point where the trace minerals have been removed. Not much better than regular table salt!

I don't get a salty taste and I've gone through several jars. It may be how you are consuming it. For example, when i take a spoonful of honey I've found that the way I put it in my mouth, my salty and sweet taste buds get to it first and the honey tastes REALLY salty. ...it's a theory anyway.

Ok, I would say with about 100% certainty the answer is no. MSG us used as a flavor enhancer.

As for me, I don't think any food taste as good as the one cooked on charcoal. A friend of mine told me that it's all in my head, and he couldn't tell the difference. So yeah, I'm not much help. Sorry.

The only one I have right now is the vegetable base. It's doesn't say msg is in it. I've never had a problem with the No Chicken Base either. Way less salt too

The shipment of this same flavor was fine the previous month. I had never experienced a problem before this batch. So, yes, it was a recent change. I did not notice the smell. It was the consistency that was the cause for my concern. I hope this answered your question.

I buy the Original flavor and the only thing I taste on them is salt. The pork rinds themselves have a flavor sort of like uncured bacon. When the rinds don't pop out enough you will find some that are very hard and others that are flat but tender. The salt seems very concentrated when they aren't popped out much but I haven't noticed any other flavors.

I do believe another difference between these ones and the "Elite Omega-3" (which is the one I've been using) is that the Elite has a "natural lemon flavor" and the Super Omega-3 (this item) does not have a flavor. So I'm curious for those of you who have taken this product, does it have a more fishy smell and or taste? Do you get the notorious "fish burps"? With the Elite version with the lemon flavor, when I burp it is actually lemony.

As far as I know Malden only makes flakes. That is why it is so good. All I have ever ordered or bought was Malden Sea Salt and it has always been flakes. I don't know about the other products like smoked salt.

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.
