Role in food

Salt is used to enhance flavor, preserve food, and act as a texture enhancer. …

What it is

Salt is a mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride. It is found naturally in deposits and is harvested through mining or evaporation of seawater. Flavors are compounds that provide taste and aroma to foods, and can be derived from natural sources like plants and animals, or created synthetically.

Why it's used

Salt is used to enhance flavor, preserve food, and act as a texture enhancer. Flavors are added to create specific taste profiles, from savory to sweet. They are found in a wide variety of processed foods, including snacks, meats, sauces, and baked goods.

Health notes

Salt intake is a public health concern, with major health organizations recommending reduced sodium consumption. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers salt to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when used as intended. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated salt and its role in food. Excessive sodium intake is linked to high blood pressure, a risk factor for heart disease and stroke.

Allergen info

Salt is not a major allergen. Flavors can sometimes be derived from major allergens, so checking product labels is advised.
