Blog Post CommentI didn't see monosodium glutamate, autolyzed yeast, torula yeast extract, titanium dioxide or turkey listed. Those will directly affect my family. I was glad to see soy and shellfish listed. It's scary to think that our allergens may or may not be listed or masked as something else. I am diligent about checking to make sure food is safe to eat.
