ITASCA, Ill., March 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent research report, Ingredient Watch: Debunking MSG from Mintel,1 the world's leading market intelligence agency, finds that consumers now view monosodium glutamate (MSG) positively, despite historical misconceptions about MSG rooted in xenophobia. In addition to showing that 75% of the global social media conversation about MSG is positive between 2018-2023,2 the report posits that companies that strive to destigmatize the ingredient will be seen favorably by consumers – unlocking a powerful opportunity for food companies. 

Key Points: 
  • In 2020, Merriam-Webster revised its definition of the problematic term "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome" after the Ajinomoto Group and other advocates exposed its racist undertones in relation to MSG.
  • I used social listening data to highlight the difference in consumer perception across regions and how it changed over time.
  • According to Mintel research, 64% of American consumers said they have or would boycott if a company reinforced racial stereotypes.
  • The report acknowledges work still to be done, especially in Western countries where misperceptions about the safety of MSG persist.
