Today I was driving from work and listening to this radio show talking about the effects of MSG on people...It was mind blowing to hear the stories and research done on the effect of MSG on people..The whole time I was thinking"Good thing I only shop at TJ'S"..Well, well..I came home and check the TJ products that I have at home and I would say that the VAST majority contains MSG which now is hidden under 52 different names..Yeast extract, autolyzed yeast, hidrolyzed protein and so forth..Then I found out that TJ's not only carries a ton of products that contain MSG but they also mislead their customer by saying "NO MSG ADDED" on product labels that actually have the substance..Here's a list of these products..I am really disappointed and already contacted the company because misleading label is a crime!
