Best Answer

Butterball turkeys do not contain added MSG (monosodium glutamate) in their products. However, some of their products may contain naturally occurring glutamic acid, which is a component of MSG. It's always best to check the ingredient list on the packaging if you have concerns about specific additives or ingredients.

They most likely contain MSG since most turkeys do, but you won't see it listed in the ingredients, (even though it's the law) and here's why. A company can, and many times will, use MSG as a secondary ingredient in things such as Maltodextrin, Modified Food Starch or when you read the words "natural flavorings". Let me break it down here. Our bad example of an FDA allows MSG in a product as a secondary ingredient and it doe not have to be posted on the ingredients label since it was within the Maltodextrin. For some time, turkey companies have included an (approx) 12% solution of Maltodextrin. They say it's so your Turkey will taste better after being frozen. In other words, it's a flavor enhancer (aka - MSG). Here are the other items that the food industry use to get MSG in their product.

annatto, artificial flavorings, Auxi-gro (yep- they'respraying it in the soil), B vitamins from yeast, barley malt (beer) scary thought mixing msg with alcohol, beef flavoring, bouillon, broth - all types, buttermilk powder, carrageenan, casein, cheese culture, chicken flavoring, citric acid (where you would not normally find it naturally), clam broth concentrate, corn syrup (soda - need we say more), cornstarch, cream of tarter, cream powder, cultured whey, disodium guanylate, disodium inosinate, all encapsulated drugs, vitamins, minerals, enzyme modified butter, enzyme modified parmesian cheese, enzymes, flavorings (too many to number), Gelatin, guar gum, malt extract, malt flavoring, maltodextrin (solutions for frozen turkeys and chickens), modified corn starch, modified food starch, molasses, monoammonian glutamate, mushroom powder, natural flavorings, nonfat dry milk, paprika oleoresin - not paprika itself, pasteurized part skim milk, pork flavoring, protein, phosphoric acid, seasonings and season mixes, selenium from yeast, smoke flavoring, sodium citrate, soy extract, soy protein, soy protein concentrate, soy protein isolate, soy sauce, soy starch, spices (any time you see the word), stock - all types, tapioca, textured protein, torula yeast, vegetable gum

waxes on fruit and vegetables, whey protein, whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate.

Not while they are alive...maybe in the way some food packagers may process them though.

Are butterball turkeys raised on butter?

I believe Butterball turkeys have already been brined, therefore doing so again really isn't necessary. You can check the label of the turkey to confirm whether this has been done. If you look at all the small print on the front of the turkey label, there will be some language about the percentage of salt (or saline) water added as a percentage of weight, and if that's there, then the turkey has already been brined.
