Suddenly one of my favorite spices has disappeared from the shelf. What happened to the spice for potatoes from Mirador? Please bring it back.

Has been removed from the range due to low demand and lack of space.

Hello
Monosodium glutamate (E621) or monosodium glutamate (MSG) is said to be harmful to health, but this is quite controversial. If the Mirador mentioned here had been removed from the range because of MSG, then various vegetables (especially tomatoes and tomato products) and 90% of all salt-reduced foods and ready meals would also have had to disappear. Was that the case?
Wiki says:
Monosodium glutamate is formed in the normal metabolism of all living things and is the salt of one of the 21 amino acids that make up proteins. Therefore, almost all protein-containing foods contain glutamates. Some foods such as mushrooms, ripe and especially dried tomatoes, cheese (especially Parmesan), fish sauce or soy sauce, which are used for their special flavor, naturally contain high concentrations of free monosodium glutamate (not bound in proteins), which is chemically identical to industrially produced monosodium glutamate. In addition, the seaweed kombu contains high amounts and was already used by Asian cooks 1,500 years ago for its flavor-enhancing effect.
The alternative to MSG would be the somewhat more expensive yeast extract, which in turn also contains approx. 5% natural MSG. Yeast extract is listed in the list of ingredients as "yeast extract", but sometimes also as "natural flavoring". This labeling complies with European food law.
Of particular interest in the glutamate controversy are some persistent critics who are established among manufacturers of the competing product yeast extract. The independence of various MSG studies should be questioned in this regard. The unscrupulousness of stirring up public fear of harmful additives in food in order to be able to sell their own products better does not make MSG critics any more trustworthy in view of the billions in business. As a modern consumer and an enlightened person, especially in this day and age, we should be able to use our own common sense.
