"Flavor enhancer often paired with MSG."
Works synergistically with MSG and disodium inosinate to enhance umami. Used to make low-quality food taste better. Neutral safety profile but signals ingredient masking. Score: 3/10.
A real but unresolved concern: often an ongoing FDA/AAFCO research question (like the grain-free/DCM investigation), a common allergen, or a vague-but-not-alarming label claim. -2.5 pts deducted.
Rated C (-2.5 pts) by PetPro-tectors™. Works synergistically with MSG and disodium inosinate to enhance umami. Used to make low-quality food taste better. Neutral safety profile but signals ingredient masking. Score: 3/10.
