Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mix - 25% Less Sodium

I usually make my own taco seasoning (or enchilada seasoning, as the case may be). However, sometimes occasion calls for a packet. This is the one I grew up with, so I know it is safe, even though I suspect the Spices contain cumin (which is marginal :p). I only use 1 tbsp/1lb of meat, but that's plenty. It smells great. Is it straight MSG? According to the ingredos, no, but it tastes like it (which is a compliment). Actually, this makes my lips a little itchy, but it might just be the salt+spice of its neighbors (cheese and a million assorted hot peppers). I guess that's why I usually stray from packet life. Ah well. If you don't have allergy issues, this is so good. 

Overall
Cost: 6/10
Taste: 8/10
