Contain Salt

Salt, also known as sodium chloride, is a mineral compound essential for life. It is naturally found in seawater and underground deposits, and is obtained through evaporation of brine or mining.

In food, salt is primarily used as a flavor enhancer, making foods taste better. It also acts as a preservative by drawing out moisture and inhibiting the growth of bacteria and molds. Salt is commonly found in a wide range of processed foods, baked goods, and cured meats.

Salt (sodium chloride) is considered Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. While essential for bodily functions, consuming too much sodium can contribute to high blood pressure in some individuals. The FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg. JECFA has evaluated salt and determined that an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) "not specified" is appropriate, meaning it is safe at levels based on good manufacturing practices.
