Ina Paarman Masala Spice is a quality blend of pure curry spices with salt. Masala Spice is outstanding on fish, chicken and chops. Ingredients: Sea Salt, Spices, Maltodextrin, Garlic, Sugar, Fibre, Tamarind, Flavouring, Yeast Extract No added MSG Is MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) added to any Ina Paarman products? MSG is a salt of sodium plus glutamic acid. Foods that contain significantly high natural levels of free glutamic acid include cheese, breast milk, ripe tomatoes and mushrooms. Due to the presence of this natural glutamate in some of the raw materials we use, by law we have to label our products, NO ADDED MSG as opposed to MSG free. Any glutamate that is in our products, is inherent to the raw materials only and not wilfully added. The problem is when COMMERCIAL MSG (CMSG) produced from sugar cane or sugar beets, starch or corn sugar is added to food – this is alleged to cause allergies, palpitations and various other symptons. Many manufacturers do add MSG to their products but this is never done in any of the INA PAARMAN products. Any product that has MSG added to it has to, by SA law, be labelled as MSG or Monosodium Glutamate. Manufacturers are not permitted to call MSG by any other name (e.g. yeast extracts, flavourings, flavour enhancer) on product labels. We differentiate our products on the market by means of a “No Added MSG” claim, for those people who want to avoid or limit their MSG intake.
