Monosodiumglutamate retard growth in children and foetus. One funny thing is, it is the major seasoning in our noodles, eg indome.
Re: Ajino Moto: Unbelievably Still In The Market! by Nobody: 3:29pm On Jun 08, 2012
Lagusta:

u are very correct, the active ingredient (monosodium glutamate) is a well known carcinogen. Present in indomie seasoning (in fact all types of noodles), maggi, knorr, nd oda seasonings.

The highest concentration is in ajinomoto, as u can all see that it is the raw salt. So it is more dangerous...

Thats y villagers live longer, they use natural seasonings e.g locust beans, potash, smoked fish, crayfish, etc.
To be sincere with ourselves, most of our synthetic consumable products are carcinogetic, the major side effect of MSG is that its affect kids iq,

Suzuki brothers started the commercial production of MSG in 1909 as Aji-no-moto, meaning "essence of taste" in Japanese, the first time that monosodium glutamate was produced in the world.


MSG has been used safely for more than 100 years to season food. During this period, extensive studies were conducted to elucidate the role, benefits and safety of MSG. At this point, international and national bodies for the safety of food additives consider MSG safe for human consumption as a flavor enhancer

I read all your posts and smiled,just like earlier mentioned its in all the seasoning Knorr inclusive, it was first discovered more than 100yrs ago in Japan, and Japanese and Chinese use it in all their dishes, yet they live a 100 Yrs+, while you the enlightened Nigerian Knorr user is expected to live less thsn 50YRS.My brother corruption kills you first not any ajinomoto, so lets join together and fight it rather than skylarking and taking easy pot shots at a product used and approved in over 100 countries of the world with offices in same.

If NAFDAC was doing their job raw Monosodium Glutamate cannot be sold or used in cooking. Ajinomoto is poison.
Re: Ajino Moto: Unbelievably Still In The Market! by Jijek: 5:47pm On Jun 08, 2012
Some contributors have rightly said that Ajinomoto contains monosodium glutamate (MSG). MSG is a food enhancer produce by fungi fermentation of molasses, sugar cane or sugar beet. Many researchers have tested the potency of MSG in causing cancer in mouse. It is still debatable after many years of research finding. True MSG has a bleaching action, but when in food it forms complex food compound.

k-ton:
You will be surprised to know that this particular Ajinomoto seasoning is used as seasoning ingredient in all noodles be it indomie,meemee,honeywell etc. So, as long as you eat noodles,you also eat Ajinomoto.

If U are based in abroad, then MSG in your Prickles, Hot dogs, bacon, Meat products, Sausage meat, etc
The fact is that it has not been banned in EU or US. Pls google it yourself.
I am not selling Ajinomoto or vedan.But I'm a food scientist.
The fact is that some people can be allergic to some foods.

Dont forget, it has NAFDAC approval/reg. No. It's also a major content in most synthetic seasoning sold in the market be it Knor, maggi, chef or whatever. I dont believe it's that bad.

My mum told me anybody that cooks with Maggi or flavors don't know how to cook. All my life I don't eat food cooked with flavor except when I eat at occasions (marriage, burials,naming) I can categorically tell you none of those food beat my mum's food.
