Negative,  I make my own and no MSG is used.  I use Ken's Russian also,
no MSG listed.

I'm not against MSG for any reason but it's just a flavor enhancer.
Very common in salt reduction/replacements like 'lite salts'.  It has
30 or 40% less sodium than table salt but makes you less prone to go
for the salt shaker.
