What it is

Salt Spices is a general term for a mixture of salt (sodium chloride) and various dried plant parts used for flavoring. Spices come from the seeds, fruits, roots, bark, or flowers of plants, which are then dried and often ground. This blend is created by combining these ingredients.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add salt and spices primarily to enhance the taste of foods. Salt also acts as a preservative, helping to extend shelf life. This blend is commonly found in seasoning mixes, marinades, pickles, and prepared foods like pizza and salads.

Health notes

Salt (sodium chloride) is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Spices are also generally considered safe for consumption. However, consuming too much sodium, primarily from salt, can contribute to high blood pressure for some individuals. The FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg. JECFA has evaluated sodium chloride and established an acceptable daily intake.
