Revolution Health post on Bacon Salt/update on All Natural version

Hop over to the Revolution Health blog to read what their Center Manager for Weight Management Marc Zawel has to say about Bacon Salt. After several of the members at the weight loss clinic raved to them about the taste of Bacon Salt, they had this to say after receiving a sample:

It's called Bacon Salt. And it's pretty amazing. Invented by two guys in Seattle, Dave Lefkow and Justin Esch, they’ve created a product with a tagline, "Everything should taste like bacon." Available in three flavors -- Original, Peppered and Hickory -- the seasoning tastes strikingly like, well, bacon. Even better, it has zero calories, zero fat, zero carbs, is cool for vegetarians to enjoy and is even Kosher!

I've sprinkled it on burgers, eggs, even a lettuce and tomato sandwich and was almost surprised at how bacon-y it was.

He does also caution that there is sodium in our product (with a name like Bacon Salt, you've got to expect that) but points out that it has significantly less sodium than table salt (150mg vs. 590mg for table salt).

On a related healthy note, our All Natural version is coming along nicely. We know there are a lot of people with allergies and aversions to artificial flavors and MSG. We recently had a sampling of the All Natural version of Original, and we really liked it! So look for that coming soon.

Greetings...

Will the "All Natural" version have any dairy ingredients?

Does the dairy ingredients in the regular products really affect the flavor to the point of being necessary?

What affect does the MSG really have on the taste (i.e. have you tried blind taste tests with different versions of Bacon Salt with and without MSG)?

Thanks.

The all-natural version will not have dairy ingredients. Incidentally, hickory has no dairy ingredients and is vegan. We're also working to eliminate them from the regular product, but that will take a little more time.

We have done blind taste tests with and without MSG, and the MSG version has won every time except for people who exclusively eat all natural foods. Both are good, but we want the best tasting products possible. So, we've decided to give people the choice of which they'd like to buy.
