In March of this year, I submitted a Citizen Petition to the FDA requesting that the FDA Commissioner remove misleading and incorrect information presently displayed on the FDA website in a post titled \u201cQuestions and Answers on Monosodium Glutamate\u201d (Q&A) and replace it with accurate information about monosodium glutamate (MSG) toxicity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both the Glutamate Association and the International Hydrolyzed Protein Council responded with characteristic glutamate industry propaganda, stating that the Q&A accurately reflects the data and information on MSG, and that Petitioner\u2019s proposed changes should be rejected.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n And I, with characteristic vigor, tore their response apart, pointing out the deceptive and misleading statements and outright lies \u2013 in six parts, no less (links below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Part 1: https:\/\/www.regulations.gov\/comment\/FDA-2021-P-0301-0028<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Part 2: https:\/\/www.regulations.gov\/comment\/FDA-2021-P-0301-0027<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Part 3: https:\/\/www.regulations.gov\/comment\/FDA-2021-P-0301-0026<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Part 4: https:\/\/www.regulations.gov\/comment\/FDA-2021-P-0301-0025<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Part 5: https:\/\/www.regulations.gov\/comment\/FDA-2021-P-0301-0024<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Part 6: https:\/\/www.regulations.gov\/comment\/FDA-2021-P-0301-0023<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now it\u2019s your turn to tell the FDA what you think of their promoting poisons for use in food. Even one sentence will help get the word out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Below is the link you need to use to post your comment.
