Watties Pasta Sauce

Have a small handful of watties tins left in the cupboard that I pulled out today to check out the ingredients. The packaging claims:

No added colours or preservatives, 99% fat free & rich in lycopene

What they forget to tell us:

Ingredients:

Disodium Inosinate 631 - Not recommended for young children. Gout sufferers & Asthmatic people should avoid. Sometimes found in instant noodles, potato chips, savoury rice, tinned vegetables, cured meats, packet soups.

Monosodium L-glutamate (MSG) 621 - Found in cigarettes and animal food. Adverse effects appear in some asthmatic people, not recommended for infants and young children as it could damage the nervous system. Could kill nerve cells, resulting in diseases such as Huntington's, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Pregnant women, children, elderly and people with heart disease are at risk from reactions from consuming this.

Disodium guanylate 627 - This is also not recommended for infants and young children. Anyone with gout, hyperactivity or asthmatics should avoid.
