MSG in compost?

This is probably a strange question, but I have a big container of a spice mixture that has salt, sugar, and other random stuff plus MSG in it. Bought it years ago before my "read all the labels" revelation last year. I want to throw it out but was wondering if it should go in the trash or the compost? Any thoughts on whether the salt and/or MSG would cause a problem for my veggies or flowers next year?

One thing I do know, salt kills soil. I am not sure that composting will change that. My FIL puts salt under certain established trees in his yard to keep grass from growing under them... so I wouldn't put salt in it.

When Rome beat Carthage in the Punic Wars they salted the fields so nothing would ever grow there for years and years.

LOL, Okay so MSG or no, the seasoning is going into the trash! Thanks!
