MSG, or monosodium glutamate, is a flavor enhancer commonly used in processed foods. It helps to increase the intensity of flavors in dishes and gives a " umami " flavor . It is sometimes also referred to as " natural flavor enhancer ". It can be found in a range of food products including chips, fast food, processed meats, canned vegetables, and seasoning mixes. There is some controversy around MSG, due to some claiming that it can cause adverse health effects such as headaches and nausea.
