What it is

"Salt and spices" refers to a mixture of sodium chloride (common table salt) and various dried plant parts used for flavoring. Spices can include roots, bark, seeds, fruits, and flowers from different plants.

Why it's used

This combination is widely used to enhance the taste of foods, adding both savory and aromatic qualities. Salt also acts as a preservative. It's found in a vast array of processed foods, from snacks and ready meals to sauces and seasonings.

Health notes

Salt (sodium chloride) is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Spices are also generally considered GRAS or are approved food additives. The FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg per day. High sodium intake is associated with increased blood pressure in some individuals. JECFA has evaluated sodium chloride and many individual spices, setting acceptable daily intakes for some and determining that others do not require a specific limit.
