Did they add MSG to the label?
Me too. Braum's half gallon are now 3 pints.
For some reason I didn't know that this was a thing. Good to know as both my parents are also allergic to MSG. Sneaky company bastages!Yes, the label does show it as "yeast extract" in the ingredients.

@RETOKSQUID So MSG and Yeast Extract aren't exactly the same thing, but they're similar enough in their glutamate content that an MSG-sensitive person should probably avoid it as the reactions can be the same.
@ConstitutionCowboy do you have to avoid nuts, soy, cheese, tomatoes also? Or just the MSG and yeast (and presumably soy sauce which is fermented)? I know the MSG and yeast have a different glutamate due to their processing which is usually the trigger, but some are sensitive enough they have to avoid the naturally-occurring glutamate-rich foods (like listed earlier).

I have never had a problem with nuts, cheese, don't use soy sauce, and only over-acid stomach with tomatoes(Thank the Lord for Tums!). I don't have a problem with foods containing naturally occurring MSG because it is still encased within the yeast. It's only when the MSG is extracted and used in food that I have a problem.
