Does "autolyzed yeast" always mean it's really a flavor enhancer like like the bad MSG? I'm asking because I think I remember "autolyzed yeast" as a component of Spike which I use quite a lot. =============================== NewsTarget.com printable article Tuesday, January 11, 2005 Meat ingredients secretly placed in foods by manufacturers Food manufacturers are perfectly free to add meat ingredients to their "natural" food products without listing meat on the label at all. This infuriates vegetarians, and now thanks to mad cow disease, it brings up the possibility that even meat eaters who wish to avoid cow by-products will have a very difficult time doing so. But let me point out something even more alarming to those people who seek out "natural" or vegetarian foods at the grocery store: the vast majority of vegetarian prepared foods contain a dangerous nerve toxin ingredient (an excitotoxin) called MSG or monosodium glutamate. You probably knew that, but what you didn't know is that MSG is hidden inside another ingredient: autolyzed yeast extract. In fact, any ingredient that says "autolyzed" or "hydrolyzed" actually contains some portion of MSG, and this is how food manufacturers sneak MSG into their foods without listing it on the label. For many food companies, ethics are simply tossed out the window: they're going to put whatever ingredients they want into these foods, and they're determined to avoid listing them on the label, regardless of the law. The FDA, once again, is a no-show on these issues: it is apparently too busy promoting the profits of prescription drug companies to spend time actually protecting the public from dangerous ingredients found in foods. Overview: Kelkar, 23, a vegetarian since her teens, decided to write a letter to complain. Kelkar began to suspect that meat was hiding in many packaged foods on her shelf, such as Knorr soup and sauce mixes, Prego spaghetti sauces and soups, so she started writing letters to food companies, and even to the Food and Drug Administration, expressing her concern. The seedling symbol is widely accepted and well-recognized by consumers: 96 percent of survey respondents said they believed that the Vegetarian Society's trademark on a product was the must trustworthy guarantee of vegetarian suitability. In addition, the group constantly updates its Web site with announcements of new products, as well as restaurants, hotels, health food stores and cafes, which earn the trademark.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 http://www.thegreenherb.com/msg.htm HIDDEN SOURCES OF MSG The glutamate manufacturers and the processed food industries are always on a quest to disguise MSG added to food. Below is a partial list of the most common names for disguised MSG. Remember also that the powerful excitotoxins aspartate and L-casteine are frequently added to foods and according to FDA rules require no labeling at all.
