	Australia New Zealand have proposed to declare "monosodium glutamate" in restaurant food
		On October 10, 2002, Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) announced the decision of its Board not to require the mandatory declaration of added monosodium glutamate (MSG) in foods served in restaurants and other food outlets.

		We have provided data to demonstrate that glutamic acid found in processed food ingredients are not "naturally occurring," and that the glutamic acid in processed food ingredients is different from the glutamic acid found in unadulterated, unprocessed protein.
