For decades, MSG was unfairly labeled as “bad,” because of a 1968 letter where a doctor speculated he felt "off" after eating Chinese food. The media ran with it, coining “Chinese Restaurant Syndrome” and fueling fear and xenophobia. But science proves MSG is completely safe. MSG (monosodium glutamate) is simply glutamic acid, naturally found in foods like tomatoes and mushrooms. While the modern process of making MSG started in Japan, it’s now produced worldwide using fermented starches native to each region, like cassava in Latin America. Think of MSG like sugar in fruit: naturally occurring but also made in a concentrated form like table sugar. The real issue was never MSG – it was the false narrative surrounding it. We’re here to shut down the myths and put MSG back where it belongs with bold everyday seasonings.
