I have a client who is really really really alergic to MSG and she uses a ton of our spices. I haven't seen MSG ever listed and it is required by law to put that on a label now... so I would assume we don't. If anyone finds one with MSG you can correct me. I have all the rubs. No MSG there. None in Southwest, Asian, dill, rosemary, Cinnamon and Cinnamon plus either. I am not sure about the ranch seasoning or zesty guacamole though.

That kind of detailed info is usually included in the Product Information Guide (PIG) pages, which are on Consultant's Corner. They contain more info than the use and care cards.
I'm pretty sure all our seasonings are MSG free. And it's a moot point for the guacamole or chipotle ranch seasonings, since those aren't available any more.
