MSG and/or Monosodium Glutamate is a food additive that has no positive benefits in our food. It exists simply to allow food manufacturers to use cheaper ingredients of little or no nutritional value.
There are many scientific papers that offer plenty of evidence to suggest that MSG causes significant health risks. Some of those risks include; obesity, diabetes, ADHD, asthma, glaucoma and many other ailments.
Many people suffer from the effects of this harmful chemical. The only effective solution to the problem is to ban the substance from our food with immediate effect.
We urge you to sign our petition.

STOP the use of MSG. YES it is a naturally found substance, LEAVE IT THERE. I am a cook, and I can create WONDERFUL flavors without MSG, using HOME MADE CHICKEN BROTHS (boiling it down with carrots, celery and onions, salt and pepper). Where I work the house spice contains MSG, therfore I use my OWN spice combos as to not use the MSG laden house spice. Being in a commercial kitchen I must sometimes use premade broths and such, and thus cannot avoid the use totally, no one really can. However, I will not, nor will I EVER use MSG to enhance my food. If it cannot stand alone, then I cannot be called a chef, a cook or even a prep man... BAN THE USE OF MSG! (naturally occuring is FINE, but ADDING it DELIBERATELY to enhance flavor is NOT)

I have suffered from migraines for over 30 years and through years of suffering hemiplegic stroke-like symptoms, I learned that MSG triggers these migraines. They are dangerous and life-threatening. I do not know why the FDA continues to allow the food industry to put MSG in any food and fluid products. MSG effects on the human body is one reason why healthcare is sky-rocketing. People blame the healthcare industry on the cost going up, but I blame the FDA and the food industry. We are being poisoned by this additive and I consider it attempted murder!
xxxxxxxx,
I recently learned there are many, many alternate names for MSG, which shocked and disappointed me (hard to find a food label without it!). I would be incredibly grateful it it were banned, or at least CLEARLY labeled as MSG rather than one of the (many, many) alternate names. For now, I've stopped buying prepared or processed foods altogether, but this is very difficult for busy families to do! Thank you for your consideration.
xxxxxxxx,
BAN IT NOW! Poisons and addiction enhancers have no place in our food! Hundreds of forms of MSG are in our foods and are labeled differently to confuse us and disguise it.
Dominic Greco,
Please ban this in food. I am awake at 2am with an unbearable migraine headache. I am diligent about watching the ingredients but some sly fox always manages to slip some MSG past me. PLEASE BAN THIS POISON!
xxxxxxxx,
What country is this petition for? To whom are you going to present it? Please present it to the Prime Minister in Canada

Ban MSG and many other things. Let's start over.
Laura Roberts,
It's is inexcusable that MSG is permitted in our food. Who is the FDA protecting?
maricela meza,
u hate msg i wish someday the people who run our world give a fuck about us !!! its in everything and not only that its hidden by renaming it not giving us a chance to decide if we want it in our food or not how can something like cannabis be illegal but this is legaly being put in our food its killing us !!!

MSG gives me horrible migraines. It is terrible that I have to read the label on everything I eat to make sure it is safe. I also am not able to eat out at restaurants because I never know if the food contains MSG or not.
Molly Sawrys,
why would you want to eat by produtcts of toxins the FDA is a joke just a lie so people will believe their food is safe because "FDA" is supposed to care about peoples health. Open your eyes people! All the cancer and autoimune disease may only be caused by the food and products you use on yourself.
Paul Stoltman,
No more poison.
Joe Dunning,
It shouldn't be in our food and its just that simple.
If these food companies actually cared about there customers they would stop using it.
xxxxxxxx,
I've had constant headaches for years, and finally discovered they were from MSG. Even now that I try not to consume anything with it, they hide it so well that it's almost impossible without cooking EVERYTHING from scratch! This should not be.
Rivka,
The very first time I ever had a migraine headache it was induced by eating MSG-laden foods at a Thai restaurant. Incredible. Since then, I have discovered other triggers- triggers that were not triggers before I consumed the MSG. Get this shit out of consumers' food and snacks. If it were in fact not bad for you, why all the secrecy and lies in ingredients lists? I swear there are like 20 different names for MSG and its derivatives... I should not have to fear that I will be incapacitated when I eat out or open up a bag of chips to snack on!
Joel Mcintyre,
Msg Is a disgrace and should not be in our food... You are poisoning us... I guess that's just part of the plan
Brian Folus,
Debra Orben,
I have tried to avoid MSG for years because of its adverse effects but it is difficult to know if we are being served MSG in restaurants when we travel.
xxxxxxxx,
I don't understand the need for synthetic ingredients.. What's wrong with ORGANIC, Safe Natural ingredients? Is the FDA that Greedy to create By-Products that make us sick to keep us on their Medications??? I guess money is the Root of all evil!!
tj s,
Both me wife and mother in law are effected by msg. They will get migraines that are so bad the will be in bed all day even by the smallest amount. This is a horrible product that is used to make cheap food taste good. The best part is that when labels say no "msg" what they really mean is they just call it something different so you don't notice. Even vegetables are sprayed with the chemical while growing. This needs.to stop right away so we can keep our country healthy. Ban msg immediately!!!
xxxxxxxx,
I would like the U.S. to officially ban MSG for it has been sending me to Emergency Room for years even when I am trying to be careful.
Leslie,
What can we do to get chemicals such as MSG out of our food? Chemicals like fluoride out of our water? Steroids out of our meats and milk?
Miguel A. Heredia,
Why does the Food and Drug Administration allow and approve these types of chemicals in our food! It is no wonder there are so many diseases and disorders out there! Msg is a neurotoxin! We need to ban this now!!
Julie,
I hate msg, I am allergic to it as are a lot of my Family..I can't eat out anymore as they put it in everything the gravy even batter, nothing is safe..If they are bad enough cooks to have to use this poison there is something wrong..Some Family have to go to hospital if they have it, I get so ill, shocking headaches and makes me sick..Please BAN it..
Vivienne McCormack,

Please stop allowing MSG to be added to food. I cannot buy many foods that I love because there is MSG added and I have made the choice to not consume food that contains MSG!

MSG is just a portin of the change that needs to happen in our country and the world. It world be amazing if our government and manufacturers cared about what they were doing to the human race and the world. Their poisoning will only become more evident in the years to come.
xxxxxxxx,
There has to be some way we can get MSG out of our foods.
I am researching to find a better food source for my family.
One way is to do your shopping at the Organic Farms that may
be in your state. Buy farm raised produce and livestock or raise
your own.

MSG causes me to go into anaphylactic shock. It is an allergen accelerator and a neurotoxin. Get it out of our food now!

It causes me to have migraines. It took me years to figure out that msg is in so many foods. I don't want anyone to suffer like I have from this poison.
xxxxxxxx,

I totally agree. This ingredient makes my life hell if I eat it. Manufacturers and disguising it so it is hard to know you are even eating it.

Marshall Benson,

I want to help get food manufacturers to mention the use of MSG in the food they sell. It is outrageous that the FDA let's them sell poison to our children.
Leon Mena,
MSG is a major concern for me(should be for anyone!), especially seeing how there are many names companies hide it behind. The effects of excitotoxins are scary and to see that they are in just about EVERYTHING is even scarier. I personally have reactions to anything with a bit of MSG/Artificial sweeteners/etc. We need to stop being damaged for some company's profit.
Edna Johnson,
MSG causes strong heart palpitations and a feeling of chest restriction when I eat it. I'm careful to read labels but you can't read what is hidden under differing names. I always ask but often am told "we don't really know" at restaurants. Stop the use of MSG in our food. Let those who want it...add it after they take it home.
Jenna Bingham,

My child has suffered for years with ADHD, rage,skin problems,memory loss,confusion,suicidal thinking. Most have been resolved with an MSG free diet. I feel like I have my son back.
Casey,
no more glutimates

All excitotoxins should be banned. It's like taking performance enhancing drugs and claiming to be an athlete when you are actually unhealthy and unfit.

MSG gives me "killer" headaches. MSG is hidden in foods like hot dogs and cold cuts, salads in restaurants, and the list goes on.
Is there anyone who published the list of foods made with MSG, and their makers? I would be happy to add to that list.
Lisa,
I cannot tolerate MSG or anything with manmade free glutamate acid in it.... which includes, concentrate whey protein, autolyzed yeast extract. I get heart palpitations. Itchy skin, shortness of breath. Terrible headaches. complete and utter fatigue. Brain fog and muscle lethargy. I have heard that between 3% and 30% of all people are estimated to have adverse reactions to MSG/ free glutamaic acid. If that is correct, then in the USA alone with a approximate population of 310million people, then between 9 million and 100 million people suffer. I dont care about the benefits to economy, when this many people suffer, and msg and free glutamac acid are not labeled with warning signs it is criminal. Shame on the industry!
xxxxxxxx,
If I eat MSG I am up all night with restless legs and mile-a-minute racing thoughts! It is a horrible ingredient that should not be in our food!
Marian L. Rockwell,
Good luck and godspeed with this effort; there is no doubt in my mind that I suffer from this additive; I, too get severe debilitating headaches and it has started to effect the retinas of my eyes. This is a toxin which should be banned. I am a slender distance runner and it causes hypertension if I accidently ingest it.
Mike Hall,
MSG is in practically everything! It's hidden under several different names so people use it unknowingly. Last night I ate a pizza from Trader Joe's who promises not to use MSG and I got a severe headache and blurry vision. Sure enough I checked the ingredients and MSG was added under the codename Modified Food Starch. Please read labels, protect our children and stop poisoning our generation!!!
Natalie Shoard,
xxxxxxxx,
My husband and my daughter get severe headaches from eating food prepared with MSG. I wish this was outlawed as we have very few places where we can go eat because of MSG!
Burice Dennard,
Why does the FDA refuse to act on having MSG removed from our food? It is a poison and is of no benefit to anyone.
Alexis Noll,
MSG gives me severe heart palpitations and shortness of breath. I'm only 28 years old and not obese - get rid of it before you kill someone.
Jade Swaim,
Jakob Frank,
There's just no point. It should be banned, even the food manufacturers know this as they use several different names for MSG.

Colleen Artzoumanis,
This food additive has been around a long time and it is been known for its poisoning effects. Why is it still here??
Lisa,
Please stop poisoning us.l It's bad enough that you poisoned me, but then you couldn't stop there. You had to poison my kids too and one of them is ADD and the other with autism. I DEMAND you remove it from all food sources now!!
Jason Rhyner,
It's (B.S.)THAT THIS CRAP is still "in" the market, and in our foods. I am very upset with all this non-sense.I guarantee, that all responsible people,putting this crap in our foods, don't eat from the same dish.We need to stop it now!! this junk is even in"NO MSG"products,as well as chidren,and baby foods.lets stop it now!!!!!!!!!!
