Brain cell killing MSG in Maruchan Yakisoba noodles
This morning I was watching the Food Network and saw a commercial for Yakisoba Noodles showing how good and yummy they are for kids. I knew right away that they contain MSG even though I’ve never heard of them before.
Usually if something is being sold as a great meal that kids will enjoy they almost always have loads of MSG in it. I did a quick search and it was confirmed. Not just monosodium glutamate but multiple forms of MSG including: monosodium glutamate, hydrolyzed corn, dehydrated soy sauce and chicken broth. Most people are unaware that soy sauce contains loads of free glutamate (MSG). Also almost all “chicken broth” or broth/stock of any kind that is made commercially contains MSG.
If something is listed as “Stock”, what exactly does that mean? That’s not one ingredient, it is mulitple ingredients listed under one general name and of course, they don’t have to tell you what’s in it. Even when “chicken/beef/vegetable stock” has “No MSG” on the label, they lie. It’s legal-ease. All that means is the product does not contain “Monosodium Glutamate” the straight up 100% version. But as the informed MSGEXPOSED reader will know, that actually means nothing. They can and do hide the MSG in other abiguous ingredients such as: broth, stock, hydrolyzed corn/soy/wheat/pea protein, autolyzed yeast extract, yeast extract, torula yeast, natural flavors etc etc. Anyways, this product doesn’t even disguise the MSG, it’s just there on the label in plain sight.
I used to love these… until I just read this! Thanks for the informative and interesting post. I always enjoy reading what you post on your blog, but I guess this is the first time I am making a comment about it!
These are the GREATEST noodlez evah !!! I will eat them in a dish…I will eat them with a fish, I will eat them in a car…i will eat them near and far….I will eat them….uhhhhh….
… what was I saying …?!?!
Give me a break !!! You all whine about this and that in our foods ,but you then drink friggin’ tap water !
@ Get Real, who said anything about drinking tap water? I personally know not to drink it, at least not unfiltered tap water, but seriously, “whining” about “this and that” in our foods is us caring about what we put into our bodies. If you put sludge into your body you will eventually feel like sludge.
Get Real,
When after eating a product you have massive migraines for 2-3 days with continuous nausea, dizziness, blindness in one or both eyes, and bright spots in the only eye with vision, you would ‘whine’ as well. Eating MSG causes allergies to many consumers some severe, some mild. So if you don’t mind I would much rather take my chances with ‘tap water’ than with MSG.
Who was even talking about tap water? REALLY!
Me and my friend were arguing about an issue similar to this! Now I know that I was right. lol! Thanks for the information you post.
I just wanted to say your website is one of the nicely laid out, most inspirational I have come across in quite a while. Thx!
Hiya ! Do you possess certain kind of donation box where I could possibly return monetary gift in PayPal?
recently i found a rubberband looks like a noodle inside a yakisoba noodle soup and my daugther almost choke with it fortunately she felt it and trew it up we will not consume no more of that noodle
So many idiotic soccer moms with too much time on their hands. MSG has been found to be perfectly safe in normal (food additive) amounts. It has even been called safe in large amounts to the majority of people. Educate yourself before blindly believing the over hyping and misunderstandings that people spread.
Seriously, go to wikipedia and read up on what experts have said about it.
i just found out that the noodles i have eaten for quite a while has msg and is not safe if consumed in large amounts like i had i am a working mom with not a lot of time to cook so i feed my kids with this product i would like to know more about yaquisoba noodles please
