> MSG is completely banned in the US for use in food

Can you expand on this? I’m looking at a bag of Doritos in my pantry that has MSG as its 12th ingredient.



Sorry I've corrected my comment above.


Oh, yeah cyclamate. Similar to that, Borax is banned in the US, but allowed as an additive in the EU. Found this out when trying to make pho meatballs.


> Borax is banned in the US

Borax is available at major retailers nationwide for purchase in-store.


In the context of this conversation we are discussing food additives.
