Estimates of the prevalence of adverse food reactions vary widely depending on whether they are defined using the "gold standard"--DBPCFC (double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge)--or as reported reports by patients and their families.
These difficulties notwithstanding, it is possible to make several conclusions concerning MSG and CRS: 1) There are a number of case reports describing individuals who have experienced an adverse food reaction, characterized by a distinct set of self-limiting symptoms known collectively as the Chinese Restaurant Syndrome; and 2) Symptoms resembling those of CRS can be provoked in a laboratory setting by the administration of large doses of MSG.
For data on adverse food reactions collected from postmarket surveillance to be meaningful, they must be compared against baseline data collected prior to the introduction of the food under surveillance.
