In and of itself, it can be naturally occurring in foods and it's not one of the top 8 allergens so they don't have to declare it. I don't know if you asked Trader Joe's about the MSG or what...or what their response to it was but... I would imagine that if asked they would say that they do not add MSG, meaning the seasoning labeled as MSG. If you have an allergy or other issue with a certain food then you need to read each and every label. Lots of things may state that they are gluten free but they may not be. For instance, Rice Dream products. They use barley to process the rice and barely contains gluten. Their products have sickened many a person who must avoid gluten. I haven't bought this product for years but it used to state that it was tested and found to have less than some stated tiny amount...can't remember what...of gluten. I don't think (but I could be wrong) that in this country there is a law on that but in some others such as Australia, they do have those laws. Another thing that Trader Joes does a lot of is to produce products on shared lines. So there is very little I will buy there now because it is not safe for me due to that reason. Walmart does the same. |

Also in tomatoes and a bunch of other foods where it naturally occurs. http://www.livestrong.com/article/52...rmesan-cheese/ |
