What it is

Salt, also known as sodium chloride, is a mineral found naturally in the earth and in seawater. It is typically mined from underground deposits or collected by evaporating seawater, then processed for use in food.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add salt to foods mainly to enhance flavor, but it also acts as a preservative by limiting the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms. It helps improve the texture of many foods, from baked goods to processed meats.

Health notes

Salt is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. While sodium is an essential nutrient needed for body functions, consuming too much can lead to high blood pressure in some people. The FDA's Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg. JECFA has evaluated salt and concluded that an acceptable daily intake is not specified, as it is an essential nutrient.
