Is there MSG in Soy sauce?

The answer is: it depends

Explanation:

Soy sauce is a common condiment and cooking ingredient that is made from fermented soybeans. It typically contains salt, soybeans, water, and wheat. Some brands of soy sauce also contain monosodium glutamate (MSG), which is a flavor enhancer.

MSG is a compound that is made by combining glutamic acid, which is an amino acid that naturally occurs in many foods, and sodium. MSG is used in many processed foods to enhance the flavor and make them taste more savory.

While some brands of soy sauce do contain MSG, there are also many brands that do not. If you are concerned about consuming MSG, you can check the ingredient list on the soy sauce bottle to see if it is listed.

Here are some tips for avoiding MSG in your diet:

- Check the ingredient list on food products to see if MSG is listed.

- Avoid foods that are labeled as "savory" or "seasoned" as they may contain MSG.

- MSG is sometimes hidden under the names "natural flavorings" or "spices."

- If you are sensitive to MSG, you may want to avoid foods that are made with hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) or yeast extract, as they may contain MSG.
