What it is

Salt Milk is not a recognized single food ingredient. This term likely refers to food products that contain both milk and salt, or the combined presence of these two common ingredients. Milk is a dairy product from mammals, while salt (sodium chloride) is a mineral compound.

Why it's used

In products such as cakes, ice cream, and snack cakes, milk provides richness, texture, and flavor. Salt is typically added to enhance and balance the overall taste, often by complementing sweetness.

Health notes

The health considerations for Salt Milk are tied to its individual components. Milk is a source of essential nutrients, but also a major allergen. For salt, the FDA Daily Value is 2,300 mg, and high intake is associated with health concerns. Neither the FDA nor international bodies like JECFA evaluate "Salt Milk" as a distinct food additive or ingredient.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. Salt is not considered an allergen.
