I have purchased one in the past from Costco that says “no msg”. Bouillon is definitely a hard one to come by. I don’t usually make the seasoning mix with it any more. I just mix the spices and add it while cooking the rice in fresh chicken stock for the water.

Do you have a good source for bouillon that does not contain MSG for your rice seasoning mix? I have not found one that I am totally confident in!

I like Stephanie’s Salt Seasonings, it is all natural and all purpose with no anti-caking agents, fillers, sugar or MSG. It has a great taste unlike any other seasoned salt. Here is the website:

Try it, you will like it.

That is the one thing I hate about Dr. Mercola site. You have to subscribe to his email list in order to view the posts. But the emails he sends are helpful health information for the most part. I just signed up with my junk email for the sake of reading some of his articles.

Thanks! I tried the link, and I get a pop-up box to subscribe. No biggie, But when i did that, I get re-directed to another part of the website. So, I do a search for MSG, and I do get back to that page, but the pop-up box reappears.

Did you get the same box? Normally my pc software blocks pop-ups but for some reason it isn’t blocking this one.

MSG goes by many other names as well. "Natural flavoring" is one. Glutamate, yeast extract, gelatin, etc. They sneak it in with those other titles. You can see a full list of the other names here.

You can use a 1/2c for the 8 tbsp (for the seasoned salt). since it equals 1/2 c. Saves time, and you don’t have to count out 8 tbsp!

I plan on using the recipe for seasoned salt, I just ran out of it.

Question for you, the ingredients on the back of the spices, do not list MSG (or even wrote out the MSG) how can I be sure it’s not a “hidden” ingredient? I switch from McCormick, and the .99 spices. neither seem to list MSG.

Hi Lindsay!
I remembered that you had posted this awhile back and used your taco seasoning mix recipe tonight. It worked perfect, thank you!

Actually, I updated it above as to what works easier for me, by using pepper and then adding a bit of lemon peel to the batch when cooking (or more often I skip the lemon altogether). I have not purchased lemon/pepper seasoning, but I believe Costco has an MSG-free version, or Oregon Spice & Frontiers are brands of herbs that I have used alot in the past and they both sell it. You can purchase through Azure Standard or Frontiers is carried at Fred Meyers.
