What it is
Pretzel M Salt is a type of sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt, characterized by its medium-sized crystals that adhere well to food surfaces. It is a mineral compound primarily obtained from mining underground deposits or by evaporating seawater. After extraction, it is refined to remove impurities.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add Pretzel M Salt primarily as a flavor enhancer, bringing out the taste of other ingredients in foods. It also acts as a mild preservative, helping to extend the shelf life of certain products. It is commonly used in baked goods like pretzels, snack foods, and various processed dishes.
Health notes

The FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg. JECFA has evaluated sodium chloride and determined that an acceptable daily intake (ADI) does not need to be specified.
