naturally in some foods including tomatoes and cheese in this
glutamic acid form. MSG is used in cooking as a flavor enhancer with an umami taste that
intensifies the meaty, savory flavor of food, as naturally occurring glutamate does in foods such as stews and meat soups.
The
FDA has given MSG its generally recognized as safe (GRAS) designation.
The
European Union classifies it as a food additive permitted in certain foods and subject to
quantitative limits. MSG has the E number E621.
It is a popular
belief that MSG can
cause headaches and other feelings of discomfort, known as "Chinese restaurant syndrome".
