Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen wants to get rid of monosodium glutamate, commonly known as MSG, from its chicken by the end of 2025.

The company initially planned to get rid of MSG by the end of this year. However, due to the supply chain crisis, it seems to be delayed by three years. The company says that they are working towards building a new menu without artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.

We are currently testing all-clean ingredients in our batter, breading and sandwiches in a few U.S. markets and we expect to be on track to an all-clean menu nationwide by 2025, the company told Bloomberg. We had hoped to achieve this earlier, however our process of testing new ingredients and getting extensive guest feedback on recipe changes has been slowed down by a challenging supply-chain environment.

Chicken is a prevalent product across all fast food chains globally, and MSG usually goes along with it; McDonalds introduced a crispy poultry sandwich last year, which also has MSG in its fillet, and sandwiches from Chick-fill-A also consist of MSG. Nonetheless, restaurants are always looking for better ways to deliver a flavor that is loved by many whiles at the same time maintaining a good healthy balance.

Really can't believe the MSG myth persists today. It'll be a sad day when people stop using it altogether. Shit is basically a flavor cheat code.

I read once it came about from some white doctor who went to a Chinese restaurant once and felt a bit ill and was like lol does anyone else get that?

and people were like Hey, yeah! Might be something there. Damn thats crazy

and then the dude just ran with it.

Yep. The aversion to MSG is entirely BS and only persists due to thinly veiled racism disguised as "health concerns".
It's just turbo salt.

It's actually lower in sodium than standard salt so it might be better for you.

Yeah, if Popeye's chicken doesn't taste good after this... That will be tragic.

I got some MSG online and it's fucking baller. Highly recommend it!
It's funny, because all MSG stands for is monosodium glutamate i.e. it's a sodium molecule bonded to a molecule of glutamate - an amino acid. Just like how table salt is monosodium chloride.

Amino acid? I want to eat real food, not chemicals.

The alternate is to grind kelp over your food like it was a pepper mill.
