The FDA sets the Daily Value for sodium at 2,300 mg per day. High sodium intake is linked to increased blood pressure in some individuals. Stabilizers are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many specific stabilizer ingredients, but a general evaluation of 'stabilizers' is not applicable. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical intakes of approved stabilizers.

Salt is not a major allergen. Stabilizers are typically derived from plant sources like seaweed, corn, or beans, and are not among the major allergens. Gluten is not typically present unless a stabilizer is derived from a gluten-containing source, which is uncommon.
