Health notes
Distilled vinegar and salt are both Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. When consumed in typical food amounts, they are generally considered safe. JECFA has evaluated both acetic acid (the main component of vinegar) and sodium chloride (salt) and did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI) for either. While salt is essential for health, the FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg, and consuming too much sodium can be a public health concern.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. While distilled vinegar can be made from grains, the distillation process typically removes proteins that cause allergic reactions.
