What it is
A blend of sodium chloride (table salt) and other salts, such as potassium chloride. It is designed to provide a salty taste while reducing the amount of sodium. The specific composition can vary, but it aims to mimic the flavor profile of regular salt.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use reduced sodium salt blends to lower the overall sodium content of food products without significantly compromising taste. This is particularly useful in processed foods like pizzas, savory bakery items, and lunch snacks where salt is a key flavor enhancer. It helps meet consumer demand for lower-sodium options.
Health notes
Reduced sodium salt blends are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are a tool to help reduce overall sodium intake, which aligns with recommendations from health organizations to limit sodium for cardiovascular health. JECFA has evaluated potassium chloride and sodium chloride, and EFSA has also evaluated these substances. Evidence suggests that reducing sodium intake can be beneficial for blood pressure management in some individuals.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Potassium chloride and sodium chloride are not among the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
