I wonder if there is something else protective in their diet... I don't have a problem with naturally occuring MSG. I bought some bonito flakes and kombu last year so I'll go ahead and give a go at making my own dashi first. Thanks! That brand had added msg- interesting.

I would suggest looking up any local butchers and giving them a call. Check a few out and choose the one that looks the cleanest, and by all means, befriend those people! As for the MSG content of instant Dashi, MSG is a naturally occurring by-product of Konbu, the dried kelp that's a major ingredient in all Dashi, store bought or home made, so there's gonna be some MSG involved. Whether or not the company added more is what should be asked, and quite honestly, I wouldn't know. If it helps, this is the only instant brand I've ever seen in a professional kitchen: http://importfood.com/sphd2291.html This brand can be found at any Japanese market and some high end grocers. I would recommend Noble Fish in Clawson, or One World Market in Novi (owned by the same people, from what I understand). http://www.oneworldmarket.us/ Hope that helped!

Can you list some good places to find veal bones in metro Detroit? The powdered dashi I got a ways back had MSG in it- Is this typical or did I get a cheap one? thanks!
