is there anything wrong in using aji no motto in food items?

Answer 1

This originally came from Japan, the creator.
But, they use it less and less.
It you allergic to this stuff, you throw out right away.

Answer 2

I'm Japanese and I don't really use ajinomoto a lot. But when I was in Japan, I used to use that for Japanese pickles and it didn't make me sick or anything.

However, some people are allergic to it. So if you are allergic to ajinomoto, don't use it at all.

Ajinomoto is usually used for making Chinese food and some people who are allergic to it feel chest pain and heart burn. And sometimes depending on a person, it makes them feel down by having ajinomoto.

Ajinomoto has glutamic acid and it doesn't have any kind of poison. Some people believe that eating ajinomoto can cause death or something but that's not true. But Japanese people say that using ajinomoto too much is not good for your health because you are having too much salt.

Anyway, some people get some kind of allergic reaction because of the stuff used in ajinomoto. But many Japanese people don't have a problem but just use wisely: don't use it too much.

That said, MSG is not an essential ingredient in anything so there is no harm in omitting it from recipes.

Answer 5

In 1959, the FDA classified MSG as a "generally recognized as safe", or GRAS, substance. This action stemmed from the 1958 Food Additives Amendment to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which required premarket approval for new food additives and led the FDA to promulgate regulations listing substances, such as MSG, which have a history of safe use or are otherwise GRAS. Since 1970, FDA has sponsored extensive reviews on the safety of MSG, other glutamates and hydrolyzed proteins, as part of an ongoing review of safety data on GRAS substances used in processed foods. One such review was by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) Select Committee on GRAS Substances. In 1980, the committee concluded that MSG was safe at current levels of use but recommended additional evaluation to determine MSG's safety at significantly higher levels of consumption. Additional reports attempted to look at this. In 1986, FDA's Advisory Committee on Hypersensitivity to Food Constituents concluded that MSG poses no threat to the general public but that reactions of brief duration might occur in some people. Other reports gave similar findings:

A 1991 report by the European Community's (EC) Scientific Committee for Foods reaffirmed MSG's safety and classified its "acceptable daily intake" as "not specified", the most favorable designation for a food ingredient. In addition, the EC Committee said, "Infants, including prematures, have been shown to metabolize glutamate as efficiently as adults and therefore do not display any special susceptibility to elevated oral intakes of glutamate."
A 1992 report from the Council on Scientific Affairs of the American Medical Association stated that glutamate in any form has not been shown to be a "significant health hazard".
Also, the 1987 Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization have placed MSG in the safest category of food ingredients.
MSG consumption has been linked to Fibromyalgia syndrome and its related symptoms (including tenderness and pain at trigger point sites, fatigue, sleep disorders, and irritable bowel syndrome).[4]
