We are trying to determine the number of food products that claim "No MSG" or state "No MSG added" or "No added MSG" on their labels.  Further, we are trying to determine how many people have purchased such products believing the label claims regarding MSG, and how many people have had MSG type reactions from such products.

Many such products are mislabeled in that they contain  processed free glutamic acid (MSG).

Help us by letting us know of any such products you have encountered and if you ever experienced an MSG type adverse reaction from such products.

Please send E-mail to us at adandjack@aol.com.  In your E-mail to us, please give us the following information.

        1. Your name
        2. The city, state, and country in which you live
        3. Your phone number so we may contact you, if necessary
        4. The name of the product, including the name of the manufacturer (for example, Umper's Beef Gravy Mix)
        5. Whether or not you tried the product
        6. The approximate date you tried the product, if you tried it
        7. Whether or not you experienced an MSG type reaction from the product
        8. The reaction you experienced from the product, if any
        9. The label claim: "No MSG," "No added MSG," or "No MSG added"
      10. If available, the ingredients listed on the product label

Thank you in advance for your help in this matter.
