Due to a genetic issue, I cannot have MSG in any form, hidden label or otherwise (there may be some natural msg but not enough to cause me illness). I've tried many,many other broths but this one is safe for me. The taste is a little weaker than its MSG laden counterparts, but as long as I don't end up in the hospital, I'd say for anyone with MSG sensitivity, this is the only broth I know that meets that need. Great packaging, easy use, pretty clean ingredients. Stock up (there was a pun there :)  )
