It is not uncommon for seasonings to have added MSG because it helps provide a savory flavoring while also potentially requiring less added salt in the product. But, do Goya Adobo All-Purpose Seasonings contain added MSG? You will find the answer below!
Goya Adobo & MSG

Goya makes numerous other products that aren’t all free of added MSG. For example, the most predominant ingredient in Sazón Goya is Monosodium Glutamate (MSG). In short, just because the label reads “Goya” it does not guarantee no added MSG.
