    This document lists 129 ways for food manufacturers to add MSG or glutamates to products while claiming "no added MSG". It includes single word ingredients like "yeast" or "flavor", two word combinations like "corn protein" or "yeast extract", and longer phrases designed to mislead consumers like "dehydrated vegetable seasoning (corn)". The goal is to comprehensively cover all legal sources of added glutamates that could be used to flavor foods without explicitly stating MSG is an ingredient.

    three words: 63 ways 627, 631 or 635 on the ingredients label were taken as
    evidence that some other ingredient (eg soy protein)
    Autolysed yeast extract was in a form upon which the boosters could act.
    Natural flavour soy
    Nutritional yeast extract Nearly all proteins contain bound glutamic acid but it is
    Savoury yeast flakes unlikely to affect people unless glutamates are liberated
    Soy sauce powder by chemical or enzymic action to produce free
    Vegetable extract (maize) glutamates.
