FLAVOUR ENHANCERS

Flavour Enhancers are chemical substances added to commercially produced foods in order to enhance existing flavour and make foods more appealing.

MSG  is a widely used Flavour Enhancer – please see A-Z Directory MSG Glutamates 

There are also several others that can cause problems: 

The guanylates and inosinates have been linked to asthma, gout and hyperactivity.

The ribonucleotides have been linked with itchy skin rashes.
