What it is
Onion is a common bulb vegetable from the Allium family, valued for its distinct pungent flavor. Iodized salt is common table salt (sodium chloride) that has been supplemented with a small amount of iodine, usually in the form of potassium iodide or potassium iodate.
Why it's used
This ingredient combination is primarily used to add flavor to a wide range of processed foods. It provides both the savory, aromatic notes of onion and the salty taste of iodized salt, with salt also acting as a preservative.
Health notes
Both onion and iodized salt are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. While salt is an essential nutrient, the FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg, and high intake is a public health concern. Iodine is also an essential nutrient, and JECFA has evaluated it and set an acceptable daily intake.
Allergen info
Neither onion nor iodized salt is considered a major food allergen.
