In this time when Big Food and Pharma are making mega profits, I'm acknowledging a broken system with options a parent can count on. While the information super highway puts infinite resources at our fingertips, navigating that maze leaves my head spinning. I created Spilled Ingredients as a sieve for all of us busy, real folks and parents.Here’s to freedom of choice, learning together and making informed decisions. Power to us parents.
Love,
Niki

what on earth does “flavoring” mean when listed as an ingredient in foods like soups ? can msg be lumped under that label ? also when “spices” is listed can that mean msg ? I am really sensitive to msg in all it’s forms-I am a vegan and eat very few processed foods but when traveling in my rv I have some things on hand for times when fresh isn’t available or I’m feeling a little lazy !
@ Sara, great and frustrating questions… a good resource I’ve used is http://www.rense.com/general35/hidd.htm to see the various disguises for MSG. Generally, I have a no soup/broth/bouillon policy, because most of it does contain MSG in disguise. I do homemade only. Unfortunately, “flavoring” and “spices” can always mean MSG, so if you are looking to avoid it, I’d find alternatives for foods labeled as such. Traveling is really tricky, I agree. When I travel, I stock up on as many KIND or granola type bars as I can get my hands on, as well as a bunch of “nutty” or easy packaged snacks, fruits that last like clementines and apples, and just do my best to get myself to a good grocery store or trustworthy restaurant when possible. Sometimes it’s impossible to do homemade, give yourself breaks and good luck!
