I love their chicken and purchased italuan idividual chicken ***. No hirmones, antibiotics, cage free etc.

Reading the label it states yeast extract! Red Flag!! So i call the company and ask why wuth all the healthy stuff would you add yeast extract (msg). She assured me yeast extract was made from potatoes, well heres what I found Yeast Extract One ingredient common to all three snack foods listed above is yeast extract, one of those substances listed in many commercially produced foods that is rarely found in home kitchens.

On their FAQ web page, Annie's Homegrown offers this definition: "Yeast extract is a savory flavoring agent naturally produced by growing, harvesting, and concentrating yeast cells. The yeast self-digests (autolyzes), breaking down the cell walls, and creates a savory base used to formulate a multitude of different flavors." This is accurate to a point. Yeast extract, also listed on some food packages as autolyzed yeast, is similar to MSG in that it contains free glutamate. Using ingredients like MSG and yeast extract or autolyzed yeast allows manufacturers to list a lower sodium content on their foods while still offering a similar taste to foods which contain more salt.

However, this substitution comes at a price to consumer health. MSG and other substances containing free glutamate, such as yeast extract, interfere with the endocrine system, disrupting the body's ability to monitor appetite. Dr. Russell Blaylock refers to these substances as "excitotoxins" because they over-excite appetite, resulting in people eating past the point of reaching physical fullness.

Substances such as MSG have been linked not only to obesity but also to migraines, seizures and other nervous system disorders. Because of the dangers of innocuous-sounding substances like yeast extract, NaturalNews cautions readers to examine labels carefully when purchasing any commercially prepared foods and to educate themselves about the many names under which MSG can hide (you can find a list here: http://www.radiomartie.com/articles/msgalias...).

So why make something healthy then destroy it by adding this? Perplexed and pissed
