U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on approving use of monosodium glutamate in products used in agriculture. The Rule established “an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of the biochemical glutamic acid in or on all food commodities, when applied as a plant growth and crop yield enhancer in accordance with good agricultural practices.

The Rule

… we have found the exemptions for the requirement of a tolerance for residues of "glutamic acid" and "GABA" in or on all food commodities, and the unconditional registration of "GABA," "glutamic acid" (sometimes referred to as "L-glutamic acid"), and AuxiGro WP (AuxiGro), to be unwarranted. June 15, 2001.

Objection of the Truth in Labeling Campaign submitted to the EPA in objection to granting processed free glutamic acid (MSG) an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of processed free glutamic acid (MSG), August 16, 2001.

Those who eat more monosodium glutamate weigh more. That's what it says in the journal Obesity. The study is available online at: http://www.nature.com/oby/journal/v16/n8/full/oby2008274a.html

The Truth in Labeling Campaign had something to add to the information in that article. But after two months of indecision, the journal Obesity refused to publish our letter.
