What it is

"Salt Brown Sugar" is a blend of common table salt (sodium chloride) and brown sugar. Salt is typically obtained from evaporated seawater or mined deposits. Brown sugar is a form of sucrose sugar that contains molasses, giving it a distinct color and flavor; it is made from sugarcane or sugar beets.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add this blend to provide a balanced sweet and savory flavor profile to foods. It is commonly used in seasoning mixes, marinades, cured meats like bacon and sausages, and various sauces. The salt component also acts as a preservative, while brown sugar can contribute to moisture and browning.

Health notes

Both salt and brown sugar are widely consumed food ingredients. Salt (sodium chloride) is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. High intake of sodium is associated with increased blood pressure; the FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg. Brown sugar, like other added sugars, is also GRAS by the FDA. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. JECFA has evaluated both sodium chloride and sucrose.
