There are a lot of myths flying around about msg that are just completely unfounded and these myths are backed up with anecdotal evidence that would never pass for scientific evidence. MSG is a form of an amino acid (glutamate) which is a natural building block of protein. High levels of msg are found naturally in many foods, not just Chinese food, and are responsible for umami flavor. Parmesan cheese (and other cheeses) is very high in msg, so if you think msg gives you a headache, but you don't get a headache from parmesan cheese, you are likely wrong about the culprit being msg. **Q: How long does this product last adter opening? And whatis tge recommended storage method aftwr opening?** A: It's a kind of fermented sauces, better store in cooler after opening. Shelf life depends on the production date, mainly 18 months shelf life. **Q: For how long is this aged at the factory? I am looking for five or seven year aged doubanjiang** A: Although I, of course, don't know the answer to that, the sauce is deep reddish brown indicating it has been aged for some time. This sauce is excellent and I would recommend it to anyone. **Q: Is there supposed to be a hole in the package?** A: No. I ordered it here on Amazon awhile back and my package was torn as well. (Note: The plastic bag inside, however, is simply folded over and never sealed) Although it still smelled okay I threw it out as a precaution. Most Asian markets go through tons of this brand but truth be told I've found the brand: Lee Kum Kee "Chili Bean Sauce" Toban Djan (in the red and tan jar) to be more flavorful as it is also made with fermented broad beans for that unique flavor for dishes such as Mapo Tofu.
