What it is
Smoked salt is a type of salt that has been exposed to smoke from various wood types, such as hickory, applewood, or mesquite. This process infuses the salt crystals with a distinct smoky flavor and aroma. It is typically made by cold-smoking salt flakes or crystals for an extended period.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add smoked salt primarily to impart a smoky flavor to foods without the need for actual smoking. It is used in a wide range of products, including snacks, meats, cheeses, sauces, and frozen meals, to enhance savory notes and create a barbecue-like taste.
Health notes
The FDA recognizes salt (sodium chloride) as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). The primary health consideration for smoked salt is its sodium content. The FDA's Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg per day, and consuming too much sodium is a public health concern linked to high blood pressure in some individuals. JECFA has not set an acceptable daily intake (ADI) for salt as an additive, as it is a fundamental food ingredient and essential nutrient. There are no specific controversies unique to smoked salt beyond those associated with general sodium intake.
Allergen info
Smoked salt is not a major allergen and is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens.
