What it is
Salt is a mineral made of sodium chloride (NaCl). It occurs naturally in rock salt deposits and is also extracted from seawater. It is purified through processes like dissolving, filtering, and recrystallization.
Why it's used
Salt is primarily used to enhance flavor in foods, making them more palatable. It also acts as a preservative by inhibiting microbial growth. It is found in a wide variety of processed foods, including soups, snacks, and baked goods.
Health notes
Salt is recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Consuming too much sodium, often from salt, is linked to high blood pressure in some individuals. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting sodium intake. JECFA has evaluated salt and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).
Allergen info
Salt is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
