Which restaurant uses the least amount of MSG, or monosodium glutamate?

[mlnbabies]

My family wants to avoid eating food that contains a high amount of MSG, or monosodium glutamate because I get migraines from too much MSG. I know that I can't avoid 100% but I would like to limit the amount. Does anyone know how I can find restaurants that limit it? Personal experiences?

If any restaurant does use it, you can make sure that it isn't included in your meals by making arrangements through Disney Dining. This should be an easy thing for them to accommodate.

None of the Disney owned restaurants add any MSG into their food. The only MSG you'll find is in premade items like maybe hot dogs, besides naturally occuring MSG (ex pineapple) or MSG that is inherent in products such as soy sauce.

We are allergic to MSG. Special Diets say that no restaurant uses/adds MSG to their items, but they can't say the same about the pre-packaged goods that they get from outside vendors. It's on our allergen list that we give to chefs at each restaurant. If you email SpecialDiets@DisneyWorld.com, you can give them your allergies and they'll send you information about their allergen-friendly foods, as well as a form for you to fill out with your ressie information. They pass that information to the restaurants for you, but you should always ask to speak to the chef just to make sure they remember!

Thanks so much. I will do that. Right now I have ressies for 3 places that are buffets. I hope that I don't have to change them.

Which restaurants are those? Is there a list?

TMI, but I get a severe, immediate GI reaction to MSG. Can't eat it at all. I can tell even before I finish a meal, it's that bad. We have been to WDW about 14 times & eaten at most counter service & lots of table service places. I have never listed this as an allergy or even asked about it. And I have never had any problems whatsoever. I really don't think you'll have any problems.
