Actually, the labels on the products themselves are accurate: they list
hydrolyzed wheat protein and autolyzed wheat extracts. My complaint is
that the web page makes a big deal about how there is no MSG in any of
their products, and this is misleading. I'd like it if they listed the
actual product ingredients on the web page.
