What it is

Salt and brown sugar is a common ingredient blend combining sodium chloride, a mineral, with brown sugar, a form of sucrose that contains molasses. Brown sugar gets its color and distinct flavor from the molasses, which can be added back to refined white sugar or remain from less refined sugar cane juice.

Why it's used

This mixture is primarily used by manufacturers to provide a balanced sweet and savory flavor profile in foods. Salt acts as a flavor enhancer and preservative, while brown sugar contributes sweetness, moisture, and a caramel-like note. It is frequently found in marinades, glazes, sauces, and some baked goods.

Health notes

Both salt and brown sugar are Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. High intake of sodium from salt can contribute to high blood pressure; the FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg. Brown sugar is considered an added sugar, and the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams per meal. The World Health Organization (WHO) advises keeping free sugars under 10% of daily energy intake. JECFA has evaluated both salt and sugars.

Allergen info

Neither salt nor brown sugar is considered a major allergen by the FDA.
