Yes, all fast food hamburgers have MSG. Fast food is one of the major sources of MSG. It is even in the salad dressings. It is common knowledge that fast food is bad for you, so they may as well go all the way and make it terrible for you. MSG makes stuff taste good. It also makes you eat more and is addictive. MSG keeps fast food customers coming back for more.
Homemade seitan does not have MSG in it. It is made of wheat gluten along with flavorings such as spices, soy sauce, etc. For commercial seitan products, you should check the ingredients. If it is used, MSG should be listed.
Almost every commercially bottled sauce you can buy will contain MSG. There are few exceptions and unless you know what you are looking for you may never know. A good rule of thumb when looking for sauces without msg, if they are not labeled msg free, is if it contains something you don't recognize it probably has msg. Some ingredients that are msg without saying msg are: natural flavor, flavor enhancer, autolysed yeast, autolated or autolysed anything, hydrogenated vegetable protein, among hundreds of others. Three products on the market that are pure or near pure msg are Accent, Marmite, and Vegemite, the first a powder the other two are pastes.
If you want to make it at home, it is quite easy (as chicken bouillon is as well). You take a bunch of vegetables (like onions, carrots and celery etc. ), season it with herbs (like parsley, laurel etc.) let it simmer awhile, filter it and there you have it.
It depends on what the replacement is in. If making a dressing, ranch for example, use all fresh herbs and add a little (1/2 teaspoon to a quart) anchovy paste. Now I know this may seem strange, but isn't MSG strange? Try it in varying amounts, it works.
I made it yes
