In fact I would say 75% of the products sold by Whole Foods have some form of MSG. I would like to add that even Whole Foods breads have enzymes.

Almost all bread products in grocery stores have "enzymes" which must be avoided. If I read the label and buy bread that does not have enzymes, I'm okay. Enzymes for some reason are the killer.

Check out the ingredients... it's like the sixth ingredient there! Also watch for this new Chinese additive Datem - it's in a lot of foods! I get sick from that too... BTW Our supermarket's bakery bread has MSG in it - so I went back to Pepperidge Farm Pumpernickel bread and now I'm not getting sick! Seems to be the only bread I've seen with few additives...

He and I are on a migraine diet which includes no MSG. Does malted barley flour equal MSG? I've found white flour and bread free of this for use at home. But malted barley flour is used in every store bought roll I've looked at so far including the rolls in restaurants. Once in a while I'd like to be able to grab a cheeseburger and MSG free fries. On your website, the buns at McDonalds and Burger King are not listed as having MSG, yet their ingredient list says it has malted barley flour. I'm confused. Also, our family used to eat out a few times a month. Any recommendations for MSG free foods in chain restaurants? (For example: when I called Red Robin they told me that their french fries and hamburgers are MSG free IF you order them with none of their special salt added) Thank you!

I have found that if you shop strictly at a whole foods store, buy organic whenever possible and watch your reactions after you eat things, you will be much happier. Food at a whole foods store DOES often still contain MSG or derivatives, BUT, there are many, many foods that do not and the label reading is much easier because the main ingredients are usually food. I have been able to find chips, cereals, oatmeals, ice creams, lunch meat, raviolis, mac and cheese, pizzas and many other pre-processed foods (mother of 2 toddlers with no time)that are healthy, organic and free of neurotoxins. A lot faster to shop at whole foods stores than regular stores, theres a lot less label reading and a lot more choice and variety. Hope you find things that will work for you!

Please add more info on how we CAN eat. Not reasons NOT to eat. I live a life in the city and do not have a spare moment to my day so I need to know what things I can buy that do not have MSG. I can't make everything from scratch. That's a given. Many unprocessed foods I cannot eat due to headaches. Thanks.

The only correlation would be yeast but typically only modified versions of yeast such as autolyzed yeast or hydrolyzed yeast. Torula yeast appears to contain free glutamate as well. But aside from my personal opinion you should always consult with a natural health doctor as this appears to be more of a medically oriented question. @ Ashley, if you are asking if you are allergic to MSG because you are allergic to yeast and penicillin, I personally would say no.
