is yeast extract also called msg
Autolyzed yeast extract, like yeast extract, soy extracts, and hydrolyzed vegetable protein, contains naturally occuring MSG (monosodium glutamate). Food alarmist have often reported this ingredient as a hidden source of MSG in foods..
The process of producing yeast extract is with enzymes and fermentation of the yeast which breaks down the food into simpler compounds, one of them being MSG. The research Ive found and people Ive talked to on MSG and nutritional yeast is summed up just like every other bit of research Ive done.
