Why it's used

Health notes
Salt (sodium chloride) is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Sodium is an essential nutrient for human health, but consuming too much can be a concern for some people, particularly regarding blood pressure. The FDA's Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg per day. JECFA has evaluated sodium chloride as a nutrient and food ingredient.
