Is MSG safe for children?
Yes. Scientific evidence shows that MSG is safe for people of any age, including children. In June 1991, the European Communities Scientific Committee for Food stated, “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.” If your child’s favorite foods contain MSG, you can feel assured that the ingredient is as safe for kids as it is for adults.
