According to the official Red Boat website, their fish sauce is made with only two ingredients: wild-caught black anchovies and sea salt. This simple formula confirms that Red Boat fish sauce does not have any added MSG, relying instead on its natural fermentation process for a rich, savory umami flavor.

However, many of their menu items contain ingredients that naturally have glutamic acid, which is the savory component of MSG. This is the key distinction for anyone concerned about whether Olive Garden puts MSG in their food.
