What it is

Salt, also known as sodium chloride, is a common mineral found naturally in seawater and underground deposits. When food is "coated with salt," it means salt has been applied to its surface.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use salt primarily to add flavor and to preserve food. It helps to draw out moisture, which can stop unwanted germs from growing, making foods like cured meats last longer.

Health notes

Salt is recognized as safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its intended uses. While salt is essential for the body, consuming too much sodium, the main component of salt, can lead to high blood pressure in some people. The FDA's Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 milligrams. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated salt and concluded that a specific daily limit is not needed when used according to good manufacturing practices.

Allergen info

Salt is not a major allergen and is not derived from any of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
