  2. For people who react to msg, they should avoid sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate?

    MSG sensitivity doesn’t imply reactions to sorbates or benzoates, which are chemically unrelated preservatives; most people tolerate them at permitted levels, though a few may experience intolerance and should avoid only if they’ve had specific reactions.

    Typical use levels are about 0.02–0.1% (200–1000 mg/kg) for sorbates and 0.05–0.1% (500–1000 mg/kg) for benzoates, subject to product type and local regulations; benzoate works best below pH ~4.5, sorbate up to about pH 6.5.

  4. How much sodium sorbate to use?

    Where permitted, sodium sorbate is typically used around 0.02–0.1% (200–1000 mg/kg), adjusted for product and pH; note it is not authorized in the EU and is uncommon elsewhere, so check local regulations.

    It isn’t inherently harmful or toxic, but dogs may develop diarrhea and gas if they consume large amounts. Keep portions small and avoid high-polyol treats.

  5. Is sorbitol toxic to dogs?

    No—unlike xylitol, sorbitol (E420) is not considered highly toxic to dogs and is even used in some pet products; however, large amounts can cause gastrointestinal upset and diarrhea due to its laxative effect. If a dog consumes a lot or shows persistent vomiting/diarrhea, contact a veterinarian to prevent dehydration.
