Lime & Sea Salt Seasoning

Lime & Sea Salt Seasoning is a blend of flavorings and sea salt. The lime flavor can come from natural sources, such as lime juice or oil, or from artificial compounds. Sea salt is produced by evaporating seawater, leaving behind sodium chloride and other trace minerals.

This seasoning is added to foods primarily to provide a distinct citrusy and salty taste. It is commonly used in snack foods like potato chips, popcorn, and nuts to enhance their flavor profile and appeal.

Both lime flavoring components and sea salt are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used under intended conditions. Sea salt is primarily sodium chloride, and high intake of sodium can contribute to high blood pressure, according to the FDA. The FDA recommends a daily value of 2,300 mg of sodium. JECFA has evaluated sodium chloride and determined an acceptable daily intake is not specified. There are no specific health controversies surrounding the combination of lime flavor and sea salt as a seasoning.
