How is it any more of a nothing-comment than yours? MSG is fine, but it definitely isn't what I would have imagined being the main ingredient. A little MSG goes a long way, so if that's the main ingredient, how little is used of the actual herbs&spices? I never said anything negative about MSG. You read that into it on your own instead of just thinking about the rest of what was implied


I think it should go without saying that allowing companies to vaguely say things like “our product contains a bunch of stuff, trust us, bro” goes against the spirit of transparency behind the FDA’s rules.


The reason I called the MSG part a "nothing comment" is that it doesn't say anything, everything is left to implication. Nowhere did I say that you said anything negative about MSG, I was complaining about the total lack of substance. You just pointed out that MSG is the "most abundant ingredient" (meaning it makes up at least 17% in this case, I think).

Anyway it doesn't matter.
