My NOMSG newsletter came today. On page 4 I found:

"More MSG for Ham

Ham that is labeled "Ham with Natural Juices" can now contain modified food
starch in an amount up to 2% of the product's weight. Food starch,
typically made from corn, contains a small amount of protein that has been
hydrolyzed durinng production, creating MSG. Therefore, the USDA, the
agency that is responsible for meat and poultry products, has approved the
introduction of a new source of MSG in ham."

It says "typically made of corn," but then maybe not. Very long time
followers of this list will remember my claiming to get a gluten reaction
many years ago from Hormel Cure|81 ham, which has a banner across the top
saying "in natural juices."

The NOMSG group has a web site at http://www.nomsg.com/
