Do Triple 9 products contain MSG?
Some Triple 9 BBQ products do contain MSG, but it’s important to understand what that means. MSG is a naturally occurring amino acid (glutamate) found in foods like tomatoes, mushrooms, and parmesan cheese. It’s widely used around the world as an umami flavor enhancer and has been unfairly criticized for decades despite extensive scientific research showing it is safe for the vast majority of people. In some Triple 9 blends, MSG is used intentionally to boost savory depth, enhance meatiness, and create the bold, layered flavor profiles competition cooks rely on.
