Does non-msg Willie's blend have citric acid like the msg version?
-
Dave in AZ Just to make sure we are talking about |Willie-s-Snack-Stick-Seasoning which is the one without MSG. Ingredients are Salt, Corn Syrup Solids, Spices, and Dehydrated Garlic. according to the web, I went and checked the bag too and it has does have Citric Acid. I am confused as to why it would be in one and not the other. I also don’t know if it is enough |Encapsulated-Citric-Acid to make it where we would want to avoid or adjust using more of it.
My guess is no, because there is at least one other seasoning with Citric Acid as a seasoning for taste and they have told us we don’t need to adjust for that but this one, as it has an MSG and non-MSG version I just don’t know. So, best thing to do is to ask Excalibur, I will update the post when I know!
Jonathon thx Jonathon. So far Willie’s is my favorite stick flavor. If it turns out to have citric acid too, then I’ll already know it is something I like. I appreciate your time checking, I know you’re very busy–saw a new podcast today, a weisswurst video, a rASPberry mystery, and a new media guy to train!

to my knowledge there is no eca in the seasoning you must add it per the conversion chart which can be found at the top of the page
Craig Rice thx, I forgot about the conversion charts, that will get me started if I end up adding some eca. Thx glen. I’ve heard msg really boosts meat stick flavor so I might just end up buying the Willie’s MSG version next time. And maybe Willie’s isn’t the best mix for me to experiment on with/without ECA taste test. Are either of you guys fans of the ECA flavor in meat sticks?

Dave in AZ when I make the taco flavor sticks I only use the seasoning and hold overnight with 80/20 beef and pork and do not use ECA but i do add hot pepper cheese to the mix

Dave in AZ I really like it in most Summer Sausages. Never tried it in Snack Sticks but with all the talk abut it I will probably add about 50% of the conversion chart amount and see how it turns out

Dave in AZ I take that back, I did get a response I just don’t know how to search my inbox instead of my sent items! From Jay at Excalibur
The Willies Snack stick no MSG does not contain any citric acid.
The Willlies 0390302 has less than a ½ oz of citric acid.
Your customers should not change the level of usage of Encapsulated Citric Acid.Get more help with your processing questions and learn more about processing meat by subscribing to our waltonsinc.com youtube page at https://wltns.link/waltonstv I am a Gorilla, love yourself

Good to know, I love the willies seasoning, and did want to try some ECA with it, without worries Id have a batch with bad texture. Sounds like my no msg package will be perfect then!
