Hi McDonalds.

Hello Nina,
Thanks for your E-mail.
We do not add it in our restauranter, and we do not have any products in our restaurants which is made of MSG from our suppliers. Our meny do change all the time so we can´t say what the future will bring, but it is a thing that we are trying to avoid that our suppliers use.

Basically ... Does that mean you use it but not often or what?
I want to make sure that MSG is not in your assortment so you can send me ingredient lists of your dressings, ketchup, dips and spices which you are using..? Or better yet send photos of what you are using.
As there are various health risks when consuming MSG. For example, neurosurgeon says Russell Blaylock that MSG can cause brain damage, disabling arthritis, migraine headaches and more.
See for yourself here: https://www.naturalnews.com/035243_Russell_Blaylock_MSG_interview.html
Because MSG hides under many different terms, and if I have to eat your fastfood again, then I must be properly informed.
Thanks in advance.

Subject:Sv.:Sv.:Are you using the spice E-621 in your fastfood?
I want a ingredient list, as written just before.
You should not withhold information for your customers because I want to know what I eat when I eat in your restaurant.
You fail to give me information and the dressings and dips which you are using. This is not okay.

Hi Nina
Thank you for your mail.
It's definitely not about wanting to withhold information for our guests. As I said, our suppliers do not add MSG to our food, just as we do not add it to production in restaurants.
From your original mail, we understood that you only wanted the ingredient list if some of our products contained the additive. We're sorry if we misunderstood you.
But if you still want full ingredient lists on sauces and dressings, then of course we do - again, we're not interested in withholding information for our guests. As it is a comprehensive inquiry, it will take just a little time, but I will return to you this week. I hope I'm okay.

I have turned your inquiry with our quality department
As far as MSG is concerned, it is not used in our food at all, cf. agreement with our suppliers.
As far as yeast extract / gærekstrakt is concerned, which is commonly used as a taste enhancer, so it is being used in our products.
You are very welcome to contact us again, if you have more questions.

As you can see and read ahead to, I get 2 contradictory answers from McDonald's about the use of MSG and where it is used.
This amazes me, but it is certainly not the first company to deny the use of MSG as they inform me that they do NOT use MSG when, for example, they have Yeast extract added to their products, which are MSG.
16 dressings / dips and 4 McDonald's dishes contain MSG.
There is thus a lack of information about what MSG is and what other names / additives (hidden MSG) have been added to our Food, Fast Food, Sweets, Breastfeeding substitudes, Medicine, Vitamins, etc etc, here in Denmark.
I am working hard to change this by informing the people.
All McDonald's dips and dressings contain MSG, but why deny them?
Do they have something to hide?
- Information about MSG / In danish: Oplysning om MSG.
I do recommend you all to get the book written by Dr. Russell Blaylock and read it.
The book is: EXCITOTOXINS The Taste that Kills.

See the MSG name list here (Which names/additives, you should avoid):
After reading this blog post, do you want to eat McDonald's food again when you now know that they use MSG and how MSG can harm your health?
Is it worth it?
Did you get some side effects of eating the mentioned McDonald's food with MSG in?
