Health notes
Sea salt, including smoked varieties, is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Like all forms of salt, it is a source of sodium. The FDA's Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg per day. Consuming too much sodium can be a health concern, especially for blood pressure. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate food additives, and while they acknowledge the role of sodium in diet, they do not set an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for salt itself as a food additive.
