Tag: Msg intolerance

Major health organizations, including the FDA and WHO, classify MSG as generally recognized as safe (GRAS), with an acceptable daily intake (ADI) that far exceeds typical dietary consumption. But despite this consensus, confusion and concern persist over the question: how much MSG is too much in a day, and when does it become a concern?

Less than 1% of the general population may be sensitive to monosodium glutamate (MSG), with most reactions being mild and short-lived. For these individuals, recovery from MSG sensitivity typically involves flushing the body of the compound, and symptoms often begin to subside within a few hours.
