| Monosodium glutamate (MSG) |
flavour enhancer (code number 621) used in some Asian restaurants and savoury foods like soup and sauces. Once linked to a reaction called the 'Chinese Restaurant Syndrome', where it was supposed to cause chest pains, facial flushing and headache, MSG has now been cleared. It still poses a problem for glutamate-sensitive asthmatics.
