What it is

Salt vinegar refers to a flavoring blend of sodium chloride (salt) and acetic acid (vinegar). Salt is a mineral, and vinegar is a liquid made from the fermentation of ethanol, typically from grains or fruits, which produces acetic acid.

Why it's used

It is primarily used as a seasoning to add a distinctive tangy and savory flavor to foods. Manufacturers often add it to snacks like potato chips, as well as in marinades, salad dressings, and pickled products.

Health notes

Both salt and vinegar are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). High intake of sodium, the main component of salt, is associated with increased blood pressure, and the FDA recommends a daily value of 2,300 mg of sodium. JECFA has evaluated both sodium chloride and acetic acid, and both are considered safe for use in food. There are no notable controversies regarding vinegar itself, but excessive sodium intake is a public health concern.
