MSG/Nucleotides

Conspiracy among the defendants Ajinomoto U.S.A., Inc., Ajinomoto Company, Inc.,et al, to fix the price at which MSG and/or nucleotides were sold in Canada.

A class action was commenced in which it was alleged that certain manufacturers of MSG and/or nucleotides unlawfully conspired to fix prices and allocate markets for nucleotides. Damages were sought on behalf of all people who purchased MSG and/or nucleotides or products containing such between 1990 and 1999. MSG refers to monosodium glutamate. Nucleotides refers to all nucleotide-based flavour enhancers, including, without limitation, disodium, inosinate (sometimes called "DSI" or "IMP"), disodium guanylate (sometimes called "DSG" or "GMP") and combinations thereof (sometimes called "I+G") are naturally occurring flavour enhancers found in many plants and animal cells. The most common of these flavour enhancers is monosodium glutamate ("MSG") which has been manufactured since 1909.
