MSG FREE FOODS LIST

This list is for all the people who can’t have MSG in their food. I hope this list helps someone find foods that they need.



*Spaghetti Noodles (any regular brand)

*Egg Noodles (any regular brand)

*Pasta Noodles of any sort (any regular brand)

*Chicken (I prefer Sprouts all natural chicken but regular chicken is ok too)

*Organic Free Range Chicken Broth (Costco) (DO NOT buy any regular chicken broth. It will have MSG (autolyzed yeast extract. You need to buy organic and still make sure to check the ingredients)

*Peanut Butter any brand regular kind

*Jelly (I have been using Flavor Swiss Preserves but just look for one without colors or high fructose corn syrup)

*Homemade Salsa

*Sprouts Lil' Smokies (do not buy any Little smokies or any other sausage that does not say MSG free I guarantee it has MSG in it)

*Frigo String Cheese (Costco large pack) (probably any brand string cheese is ok)

*Cheddar Cheese (All natural no yellow dyes. Does not say artificial coloring. The kind I buy almost always say annatto used for coloring. Just as a side note Costco has a large block of cheddar cheese that says "All Natural" but when you read the ingredients it says artificial coloring)

*Tortilla's

*Homemade Pizza (I use Hunts's 100% Natural Tomato Sauce with just a teaspoon or so of white sugar mixed to make sauce)

*Hormel 100% Natural Deli Meats

*Parker House Style Frozen Rolls (Wal-Mart freezer section) (I love these rolls. They do have other additives but they do not seem to bother Daniel. I use them to make homemade donuts (After raised poke hole in the middle and fry them in canola oil. Cover in white sugar or make a cinnamon/sugar mix yummy!), little individual pizza's, hot pocket type sandwiches with the Hormel Deli Meats and cheese inside, and obviously dinner rolls)

*Hamburgers (I like Sprouts Ground Beef. I wait until the beef goes on a great sale like $1.89 or so and we BBQ (be careful not to use BBQ sauce unless you read the labels real well for unfavorable additives). We individually wrap them and freeze them. Then we just bring them out and heat up for a quick hamburger. Also I cook up a bunch of the ground beef and store it individual ziplocks. We freeze it and then we can quickly defrost it for making taco's, spaghetti, or lasagna)

*Lasagna Homemade (do not use Parmesan Cheese it is naturally high in MSG)

*Roast Beef

*Homemade mashed potatoes

*Ore-Ida Fast Food French Fries (Walmart) (I am avoiding tator tots because they are "seasoned") 

*Trader Joes All Beef Hot Dogs

*Homemade fried chicken

*Homemade biscuits 

*Trader Joes Pancake Mix to make biscuits

Snacks/Desserts

 

*Homemade Popcorn (we have a "Whirley-Pop" pan and we add our popcorn/canola oil/olive oil and salt after. Makes great popcorn. Our family has become quite famous for this when our friends come over)

*Pretzels (Wal-Mart Great Value Brand. They are $1 a bag)

*Unflavored potato chips like Lays Original or Ruffles Regular (ALWAYS unflavored chips anything else I can bet $$$ on will have a form of MSG. Also avoid any Doritos lots of MSG)

*Oyster Crackers 

*Saltine Crackers

*Organic Quack N' Bites (Whole Foods). (Can you believe that good old regular fish crackers have MSG (autolyzed yeast))

*Cashews with salt (Costco)

*Peanuts with Salt (Costco)

*Almonds

*Corn Chips with Flax  (Do not buy regular corn chips because they are made with corn oil which has an MSG type of molecular structure)

*Joe-Joes cookies chocolate or vanilla 

*Cheese Puffs Reduced Fat  (DO NOT buy regular cheese puffs they have yellow dyes and I think they might have MSG I would have to read a bag to see. It has been a long time since I bought regular)

*Cheetos All-Natural cheese puffs (Wal-Mart)(again DO NOT but the regular)

*Mi Ranchito Blue Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips (Costco)

Beverages

*Hansen's Regular Soda's drinking 1/2 can. Whole can has a lot of sugar and I noticed increase in tics after drinking whole can.(Costco, Trader Joes, or Sprouts) (NEVER DIET because of the aspartame)

*Simply Lemonade (Wal-Mart near the orange juices)

*Capri-Sun All Natural 100% Juice (Costco. Make sure you do not buy the regular Capri-Suns because they have high fructose corn syrup)

*Milk (I am learning you want to use 2% or higher because the lower the fat the more the milk is processed which can create a molecular change. My son seems to tolerate the 1% but I am switching just to get it out of his diet anyway)

*Donald Ducks Orange Juice (Wal-mart)

*Crystal Geser Juice Squeezes (Trader Joes)
