12 Aug 2020 --- Ajinomoto Co. Inc. is working to overcome the “outdated anti-MSG stigma,” as it highlights the role that monosodium glutamate (MSG) can play in aiding sodium reduction and the enjoyment of better-for-you foods. The amino acid-based product specialists have supported a new study that saw participants evaluate recipes where sodium was reduced by 31 to 61 percent through the addition of MSG. The reduced salt recipes with added MSG were liked as much as or better than the standard recipe, while reduced salt recipes without MSG were commonly described as “bland.”
