Salona® Sea Salt Supplier
Salona® low sodium sea salt is a natural mineral that is an effective ingredient for the replacement of salt in food and beverage products. Salt is a critical ingredient used in most food products for flavor enhancement, preservation, and other functions. The need to reduce our sodium intake has created a need for innovative ingredients to be used in reduced sodium products. Salona low sodium sea salt is a natural sea salt from ICL Food Specialties.
