Who would sub actual meat for soy? "Hey, pick up a jug of soy broth while you are at the store, please."

Got to love modern food. I'm glad I'm one of the people who basically ignores what's in the food they eat. I try not to eat boxed meals, canned meals, things like that but otherwise I just shovel it in and hope for the best. So far, my physicals haven't shown any major issue aside from slightly high cholesterol which runs in the family, and slightly high blood pressure which I attribute directly to my smoking.

I also don't work out or exercise since I'm on my feet 10 hours a day not including after work hours.

It's all about moderation.

It's actually not a bad ingredient list for a modern canned soup product.

It is indeed delicious! That's the Umami-inducing "hidden" glutamic ingredient, along with the "Soy protein isolate".
These are all flavourings that serve the same purpose as MSG and are produced by breaking down plant wastes with hydrochloric acid (stomach acid) and then neutralizing it with lye. The results are various plant amino acids, one of which is glutamic acid, the addictive stuff.

that's the rub... there are several places they can legally hide it.
could be any/all/ or none of the following: Spice, Natural Flavor, Flavoring

Slightly off topic, but I still find it amusing that MSG was the "control" when NutraSweet was being tested as an artificial sweetener...why not sugar, HFCS, Sacchrin, or any of the OTHER artificial sweetners ?

(Rhetorical question...we know why).

You have any links to that assertion? MSG seems like a strange control.

 

[PeterPolyol]

Yep, put short it's the nicotine of the food world
(as I coincidentally eat "mama" brand ramen noodles from Thailand as I post this)

Been looking online...the references were in magazines about 15-20 years ago.

Closest links I could find would be labelled "P"...was banned, then changes in the leadership of the FDA, and was unbanned...look up aspartame approval process and follow the rabbit hole.

[CourierDriver]

Yes some of you guessed correctly......good old chicken soup, factory made...

I've been reading labels and boxes since I could read. There are so many items that premium brands and store brand stuff is exact same ingredients in exact same order. Hmmmn.
