"MSG is one of several forms of glutamic acid found in foods, in large part because glutamic acid (an amino acid) is pervasive in nature. Glutamic acid and its salts may be present in a variety of other additives, including hydrolyzed vegetable protein, autolyzed yeast, hydrolyzed yeast, yeast extract, soy extracts and protein isolate, which must be specifically labeled."

Also, I am very intimate with how food additives in processed foods work... It's like this, 1oz of autolyzed yeast is added to a ton of MSG. The whole batch is suddenly converted into autolyzed yeast. Because, you see the processed food industry doesn't know chemistry either.

Why do they add MSG in the first place you may ask? Now, we'll dip into biochemistry and metabolism. They add it because it causes an increase in metabolism. Which in turn makes the animal hungry again sooner. So, they eat more. Which equals more $$$. In a contradiction, this is one area of mathematics and chemistry that the processed food industry is very familiar with and uses consistently. THAT is what is meant by FAST FOOD.

So, if it's an additive... Large enough quantities of it to achieve the desired results are not naturally present in the ingredients of the dish. Why not leave it out, as I pondered earlier.
