What it is

Salt, also known as sodium chloride, is a mineral compound that is essential for life. It is naturally found in seawater and underground deposits. Salt is typically harvested through evaporation of seawater or by mining rock salt.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add salt primarily to enhance flavor in a wide variety of foods. It also acts as a preservative by inhibiting microbial growth and can affect texture. Salt is a key ingredient in processed foods like snacks, soups, and baked goods, as well as in table salt.

Health notes

Salt is recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The FDA and the World Health Organization (WHO) recommend limiting sodium intake due to its association with high blood pressure. JECFA has evaluated salt and set an acceptable daily intake. Evidence suggests that high sodium intake can contribute to cardiovascular disease, but the relationship is complex and influenced by other dietary and lifestyle factors.

Allergen info

Salt is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
