Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper Seasoning

Sea salt is salt harvested from evaporated seawater. Cracked pepper is black peppercorns that have been coarsely ground. Together, they form a simple seasoning blend.

This blend is primarily used to add flavor to a wide variety of foods. Manufacturers add it to snacks like chips, pretzels, and popcorn, as well as other savory items, to enhance their taste.

Sea salt and black pepper are common food ingredients. The FDA considers salt (sodium chloride) to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when used as intended. High sodium intake is linked to elevated blood pressure by health organizations like the WHO. The FDA recommends limiting sodium intake. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated salt and pepper, but no specific numeric limits are set for typical dietary intake.
