Notes

MSG is a flavor enhancer. Some people claim to be allergic so always be aware of you are serving. 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.

he U.S. Food and Drug Administration has given MSG its generally recognized as safe(GRAS) designation.^[9] It is a popular misconception that MSG can cause headaches and other feelings of discomfort, known as “Chinese restaurant syndrome“. Several blinded studies show no such effects when MSG is combined with food in normal concentrations, and are inconclusive when MSG is added to broth in large concentrations.
