No Added MSGBrisket bark built on salt, pepper and smoke, with no added MSG.

No Added MSG

All the flavour, nothing added you didn't ask for.

No added MSG means the maker hasn't added monosodium glutamate (621) to the blend, and every product here says so on its own listing. We check each one before it earns a spot, and anything that lists MSG stays out. The savoury depth comes from salt, garlic, onion, mushroom, tomato and smoke instead.

Start with Meat Church Holy Cow for brisket bark, Hardcore Carnivore Red as an all-rounder, Coast n Smoke The Rip from Victoria's surf coast, or Jack Daniel's Original BBQ Rub. Croix Valley's Barbecue Boosters, Heavenly Hell's championship rubs, Smoky Pastures and 3099 Jerky round it out, with Blend Smoked Honey for the glaze.

It runs to over 100 rubs, sauces, honeys and jerky, delivered anywhere in Australia for a flat $10. Recipes can change, so always check the label on your pack. All the flavour, nothing added you didn't ask for.
