What's in an Oxo cube (apart from a lot of salt/sodium)?

Well from Wikipedia today on this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxo_(food) I have copied the following extract: (You will note that SALT is high in the list of ingredients. - All Oxo cubes contain a high proportion of salt.)

"Beef Oxo Cubes

Vegetable Oxo Cubes

Italian Herb & Spice Oxo Cubes

  • Wheatflour, salt, sugar, potato starch, flavour enhancers (monosodium glutamate, disodium 5'-ribonucleotides), herbs and spices (fennel, parsley, basil, black pepper), hydrogenated vegetable oil, dried onion, dried glucose syrup, flavouring (contains milk), dried tomato, yeast extract, tapioca dextrin."
