🧂 Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) 5 kg – Bulk Premium Umami Enhancer for Professional Kitchens & Food Manufacturing

1. Description

Bring world-class flavour enhancement to your kitchen or food production with our Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) 5 kg, a premium-grade umami seasoning trusted by chefs, manufacturers, and caterers throughout New Zealand.

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is a naturally derived flavour enhancer that intensifies the umami taste — the rich, savoury note found in meats, broths, mushrooms, and cheese. It adds depth, balance, and complexity to dishes without overpowering natural flavours, making it a staple ingredient in both restaurant cooking and large-scale food production.

Our MSG 5 kg pack offers unbeatable value for businesses that require consistent, high-quality seasoning in bulk quantities. Made through a natural fermentation process using plant-based raw materials such as sugarcane or starch, it delivers >99% purity, uniform crystal texture, and excellent solubility.

Whether you’re preparing restaurant-quality soups, sauces, snacks, or ready meals, this premium MSG ensures optimal flavour, aroma, and satisfaction. It allows chefs and producers to reduce sodium content while maintaining the savoury, mouth-filling richness customers love.

Ideal for foodservice operators, catering companies, and manufacturers across New Zealand, our MSG is fully compliant with Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) and global food-safety regulations.
