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.
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,

Vivienne McCormack,

Ashley,
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.

Christine Croarkin,
MSG causes me to go into anaphylactic shock. It is an allergen accelerator and a neurotoxin. Get it out of our food now!
xxxxxxxx,
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,
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.
xxxxxxxx,
This is crazy, is the FDA out to kill us all?

Lana Cartagena,
It's amazing how our government allows big to poison us, all in the name of money.
felice lim,
government should realise by banning MSG will save them millions in Health budget every year when the population are healthier ! wake up !!
Marshall Benson,
stop killing people
xxxxxxxx,
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
xxxxxxxx,
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.
Chris Wilson,
Adam Given,
Don't stop with MSG. Ban all Genetically Modified foods, and chemical additives.
xxxxxxxx,

santino traina,
This needs to go, my mother is severely allergic to it.

Heather DiEgidio,

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.

There is so little that doesn't have some sort of MSG or off-shoot of MSG in it. Please ban 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!!!!!!!!!!

The FDA needs to stop allowing the use of ALL MSG in foods. MSG is killing several people slowly... including me. I also as well as many suffer the harsh affects of MSG being pumped into foods that are eaten daily. STOP ALL MSG USE!

Christopher Carver,
Please let me now how I can help. This MSG is killing us....
Virginia,
The fact that MSG is placed in most of the foods consumed by the vast majority in the US without any clear labeling is unacceptable. If companies fear that making it obvious a food contains MSG is a threat to their sales, that should be a wake up call that it needs to be removed.
Stephanie,
lynda,

mattabar,

Michael Occhipinti,
I have NO doubt that MSG exacerbates my tinnitus and hyperacusis. I was drinking many many protein shakes with calcium and sodium caseinate and eating much chinese food. I am extremely dismayed that the feeble FDA allows this poison to be hidden in SO many foods its ridiculous. It is almost impossible to find a processed food at Stop and Shop that doesn't have hydrolyzed soy protein, msg, or some other form. This needs to stop, all these poisons need to be removed from food as soon as possible. If I can help I will.
jessica,
Putting MSG in food is a really dumb and bad idea, a while ago you could buy MSG in the store and it looked somewhat like sugar, you put it in food and you cannot tell the difference between foods with MSG in it and foods without it.
marianne,
If you don't know why you feel sick, in pain loose your food, cut out foods that contain MSG.Also go on Wikipedia type in MSG and see what other names they list that foods contain MSG without listing MSG and cut them out, and see if you feel better. Headaches gone, chills, fever gone,intestinal or stomach pain gone.
megan sugamosto,
It seems as if the government hardly cares for anyone any more but to allow us to eat such harmful foods is ridiculous.
David in Australia,
It is not natural, it is not healthy and it is not needed in my diet -- GET RID OF MSG
