Since its discovery in 1908, monosodium glutamate (MSG) has been used safely and effectively in food. A great deal of scientific research has been undertaken into its role and safety. This research, which has been reviewed by scientists and regulators around the world including the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, demonstrates that MSG is safe for everyone.
