Consumer Advice
Disodium 5'-ribonucleotides (I+G) are a blend of disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate, the most widely used combined flavour enhancers. Along with MSG they are used in instant noodles, seasonings, meat products and snacks to greatly boost umami. They break down into nucleotides and sodium and are safe within limits. As they contain sodium and are purines, salt-conscious and high-uric-acid individuals should consume them moderately.
