Does the Sea Salt flavor have MSG? I noticed from the comments that the BBQ flavor does. A lot of responses in such a short period of time. I'm sold, I have to try them now :) Thanks to everyone that answered so quickly.

I can tell you about the original flavor (very tasty.) Have a bag here and those contain: Cassava; palm, sunflower or safflower oil; evaporated cane juice; sea salt; garlic powder; natural vitamin E to preserve freshness. Also notes "Contains soy." I don't know if that is because they also process products with soy and are acknowledging the possibility of cross-contamination? Here is their phone number: 1-866-98-ARICO

I plan to buy but an on a low sodium diet. One poster notes the extremely salty taste. Anyone have a can to check the sodium content per serving? Also how much is a serving?

This is going to be similar to the other respondents. I have found from personal preference that a 3:2 ratio was best for what I was wanting in flavor especially when I added a 1/4t of sea salt. The 1:1 ratio works but for flavor was weak. For the price of this product vs others, one can fiddle with the serving size to find what is appropriate.

Like others have said, it is hard to describe. Some will like it others will not. It is salt SUBSTITUTE after all and not salt so it will not taste exactly like salt. Personally I like it and find it a nice pleasant seasoning. Being on dialysis I must limit sodium and potassium so it works well for me with the advantage of liking the taste. I especially like it on my eggs in the morning.

It's not really lower in sodium due to the serving size. For me it's healthier because it has NON-GMO ingredients. The majority of soy used in food products are GMO unless otherwise stated. This is a very important factor for me. But there seems to be a question now of MSG in it..I'm doing more research, because that will remove it from my diet. I'm now looking at Tamari or Nama Shoyu

ya know i don't have a bag on hand, they don't last long with me..ha....i waas looking for low sodium and no real sugar..but i got two different brands. both were similar, as i recall i liked the first one a little better. usually the portion is 10 of them, i think it's just to kill the urge for candy, no real nutritional value. wish i could buy them in the store as i keep forgetting to order them. the only thing they carry are black crows, but thet are loaded with sugar and sodium. just enjoy...when you get the second bag, then check it out. ha....sorry, i have had to give up so much, that seemed to be one thing i could still eat. enjoy oh yeah, the calories were like 35 or something really low...so don't worry about that part.

Makes a good bit! The sea weed is good but everything else taste like a weird jelly. It's worth it just watch some youtube videos!

To me it just tastes like a different type of salty but not strong as it is a type of salt in a way and it doesn't have flavoring nasty, not really, but it works amazingly. Just put some flavoring in it if you need to. I just take it with water, the benefits you get makes me not care about what it tasts like.

I do not know their reasoning. MSG is supposed to make things taste better, but it ruins them for a lot of people. It triggers all kinds of symptoms and makes the product unusable for them. It might help to directly address the problem to Kraft and express your opinion.

I don't notice any seafood flavor, so I asked my family, and they say it's either a dried oyster or clam taste. At one time, they used to put actual dried oyster in it to give it flavor. I don't think it's fishy at all.

I emailed Frontier and they said this turmeric has absolutely nothing added, no salt added. So I have no idea why it tastes salty to you.

No "msg" means no "Monosodium Glutamate" but "Unseasoned" or "No Salt" still have "Salt" in the ingredients. You have to read your ingredients label. I don't know of anything that doen't contain a little salt.

I don't miss the salt taste ,but I like salt on my food. I don't use salt anymore. So, maybe my taste buds get the satisfaction without the salt. I don't crave water after using it like I would if I used salt. The flavor is my favorite. Kind of a spicy, a little peppery..

The only one I have right now is the vegetable base. It's doesn't say msg is in it. I've never had a problem with the No Chicken Base either. Way less salt too

There is NO msg in this product. I am aware that the FDA allowances to the "natural flavors" classifications.

it does have a fishy smell but not fishy taste; therefore, you can't add it to any dishes. It tastes very salty. So, usually, people use it in tiny amount.
