What it is

Salt, also known as sodium chloride (NaCl), is a naturally occurring mineral. It is primarily obtained through the evaporation of seawater or by mining underground salt deposits. After extraction, it is often refined to remove impurities.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add salt to foods primarily as a flavor enhancer, bringing out the taste of other ingredients. It also functions as a preservative, helping to cure meats and prevent the growth of spoilage microorganisms. Salt is a common ingredient in a wide range of processed foods, including sausages, hot dogs, snack foods, baked goods, and canned items.

Health notes

Salt is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. While it is an essential nutrient for human health, consuming too much sodium can contribute to high blood pressure in some individuals. JECFA has evaluated sodium chloride and did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI) because it is a nutrient. The FDA recommends a Daily Value of no more than 2,300 mg of sodium per day for adults.
