Is there a connection between autolyzed yeast and MSG?Updated 2 months ago

Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation regarding autolyzed yeast and its relationship to MSG. In short, there is NO MSG in MegaFood products.  

If you'd like more information, we've asked our Principal Nutrition Scientist to comment on this misconception.

Statement from MegaFood's Principal Nutrition Scientist: 

 “At MegaFood, we do not use autolyzed yeast to hide any inclusion of MSG. In fact, it is a misconception that autolyzed yeast produces any amount of MSG at all. It is also incorrect that MSG may legally be labeled as "autolyzed yeast" despite media articles suggesting that this is the case.”
