This contains yeast extract. Doesn't that actually come down to another name for monosodium glutamate or MSG?

While some people may be sensitive to MSG, it is not the horror story it's been made out to be. I checked with the Mayo Clinic's site, and they say that there has been testing done, but there has never been any link to problems with MSG with humans - the horror stories (which the news media just LOVES to publish, are mainly based on testing on lab animals. That said, some people are sensitive, or allergic, to peanuts, and some may be sensitive, or allergic to, MSG. MSG is not likely to be life-threatening like peanuts may be, though; the anecdotal reports speak of head-aches and such-like. Look up MSG for yourself, to be sure.

Not really. Yeast contains a lot of glutamic acid, a precursor to MSG - but so do tomatos, cheese, meat and etc. So, is that bad for your health? Probably not.

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

Not only does it contain MSG but it also contains beef fat. More beef fat than chicken flavoring.

It is gluten free as far as no gluten containing products are listed, but does contain MSG.

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.

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

No MSG. The color is from nutritional yeast and beta carotene. The actual ingredients are: Fortified nutritional yeast (dry yeast, niacin(B3),Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (B6),Riboflavin (B2),Thiamin Hydrochloride (B1), Folic Acid, B12), Sodium Alginate, Black Sea Salt, Beta Carotene.

ya, i was wondering the same thing. aren't they breaking the rules by not listing the compound so we can refer to msds (or now sds)?im thinking its some sort of mild alcohol

Well, I would guess it is since its just eb juice extract. I can't think of a reason gluten would be in such a product. My husband has trouble with gluten products but this didn't bother him at all. Don't know if that helps or not.

The beef list yeast extract, the chicken does not. The chicken does have monoammonium glutamate.

There is NO msg in this product. I am aware that the FDA allowances to the "natural flavors" classifications.

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!
