I am extremely sensitive to MSG, sulfites, etc. - they give me terrible migraines. Although this mix says "no msg" it DOES contain sulfites, so if a glass or two of wine gives you a headache (wine typically contains sulfites), then this pickling spice may give you migraines/headaches as well. This is just an FYI to the folks like me who have to be careful what they eat and drink. The sulfites in this pickling blend are used a preservative, which is completely unnecessary in my opinion. McCormick simply wishes to ensure an indefinite shelf life for this stuff at the expense of individuals' health.

PS - I love to make pickles, jellies and preserves, etc., and to give them as gifts. If you give gifts of pickles made from this spice, please consider warning the recipients about the sulfites. Nothing ruins a gift like associating a friend or loved one with a gift that makes you ill! I speak from experience.

A number of my recipes require McCormick Pickling Spice (no Msg), 12-Ounce Units (Pack of 3). This blend is very difficult to find in large amounts. My brother also uses this product a great deal, so we split an order. I kept one, he got the rest. I know I could make my own blend, but again, getting the volume of ingredients is difficult. It's just easier this way.

The hard to fine in florida is spice is just like the ole fashioned pickling spice of years gone by.
