Sigma Processed Meats, Inc., a Seminole, Okla., establishment, is recalling approximately 2.68 million pounds of fully cooked ham products because they contain monosodium glutamate (MSG), and it is undeclared on the label.

MSG is used as a flavor enhancer in a variety of foods prepared at home, in restaurants, and by food processors. Some persons who have eaten foods containing MSG have reported adverse reactions.
