We are marketing the taste enhancer Mono Sodium Glutamate, AJI-NO-MOTO® (Umami taste enhancer) all over the world. This is manufactured with natural ingredients, and without adding any chemicals, and hence are good for health. But the world market is flooded with Chinese and locally manufactured duplicate products with false labels. The consumers must remain alert about such fraudulently manufactured products and use only genuine MSG. “On our part, we too are trying our best to take all necessary precautions to remove these duplicate products,” said Mr. Ishikawa-Katsuyuki, Managing Director, Ajinomoto India On the quality of MSG, he said that one of the ingredients, ‘Glutamate,’ is present in mother’s breast milk also. Since it is also present in breast milk, It is safe for consumption of infant also, he said.

Further elaborating, he said, “In addition to Ajinomoto, we also manufacture Hapima® Fried Rice mix; a complete seasoning to make fried rice; Hapima® Crispy Fry Mix to prepare crispy fried restaurant style chicken at home and A&M® Noodles.The market has reacted very encouragingly to these products. With your blessings and support, we would live to grow further and serve you even better,” Mr.  'Ishikawa-Katsuyuki'said.

Recently, Ajinomoto entered a joint venture partnership with Toyo Suisan Kaisha, a Japanese noodle maker. The joint venture Maruchan Ajinomoto is a new entity and produces noodles under brand name A&M priced at ₹12-₹20.

Besides serving Tamil Nadu, Ajinomoto products are sold in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Karnataka, Mumbai, Delhi, Aizawl and Kolkata.

Currently, certain fraudulent companies ride on the backs of other products and flood the markets with cheap imitations. Unfortunately,90 percent of the Indian consumers are using unorganised or repacked MSG’s that cost less, instead of good quality and originality. This is exploited by these fraudulent companies. We as consumers confront various false information on the internet that consuming Ajinomoto could be hazardous to health, thereby confusing the users. Are those facts true? Only a very few among us take the trouble to find out if such information is true and differentiate between real and fake products.

The Japanese company Ajinomoto is taking earnest steps to counter this negative publicity and false information campaign. At least from this point onwards, instead of blindly believing anything that appears on the internet, we must be able to cultivate the swan’s talent (of separating milk from water) and believe only in the truth.
