MSG Removed from Whole30’s Unacceptable Ingredients List

Is MSG (Monosodium glutamate) finally coming off industry unacceptable ingredients lists? In a major step forward, the Whole30 diet – a popular 30-day food plan known for its strict rules around eating only whole, minimally processed foods – recently announced that MSG is no longer off-limits, citing current science on…

MSG Promotes Significant Sodium Reduction and Enjoyment Of Better-For-You Foods, According to New Study

A new study published in the Journal of Food Science suggests monosodium glutamate (MSG) can be used to significantly reduce sodium while also promoting the enjoyment of better-for-you foods like grains and vegetables.

While naturally rich in umami, cheese, especially aged cheeses, also tend to be high in salt. This is especially true of processed cheese products, such as flavored cheese balls. If approached by a leading CPG client to reformulate its flavored spreadable cheddar cheese “party” ball to reduce sodium and enhance flavor, the product support team at Ajinomoto Health and Nutrition would approach the challenge with the goal of attaining a 25% reduction in total sodium chloride levels, while imparting a delicious aged character to the end product.

When Sodium is Not Sodium

With millions of consumers expressing a desire to lower the amount of salt—sodium chloride—in their daily diets, stress typically has been placed on cutting out any ingredient with the word “sodium” in it. But strict removal of all things sodium means that those same consumers are missing out on one of the most effective salt-lowering solutions they can get: monosodium glutamate (MSG).

Leading with Science in a Plant-based World

The plant-based market is projected to be worth $162 billion in the next ten years and has grown 43% in the past two years despite challenging shopping environments brought by COVID-19 (Source).
