FDA proposes using salt substitutes in more food

Friday’s proposed rule looks to change the FDA’s “standards of identity” (SOI) for over 20 items, ranging from cheese to cereal flour. This simply means the SOIs list ingredients that standardized foods must contain, and which ingredients are optional.

Most SOIs do not currently permit the use of salt substitutes. The proposed rule uses a “horizontal” approach to updating the SOIs. This means that the proposed rule would affect multiple SOIs and apply across various foods and categories of foods.

Specifically – 80 SOIs that specify salt as a required or an optional ingredient.would be amended under the FDA’s proposal. This means that 140 of the 250 SOIs currently established for a wide variety of foods would be affected.

Permitted salt substitutes are not listed. Instead, they are defined as being safe and suitable ingredients (or a combination of ingredients) used to replace some or all of the salt in a standardized food.

Yup. Just like the jabs. Hence my shift to ‘itys’.

One I used years ago was almost pure potassium.

I'll bet you didn't sprinkle it in your soup a second time.

If you do the exact opposite of whatever our unconstitutional illegitimate out of control Fedzilla overlords tells you to do you will be better off and live longer, healthier and happier lives because of it.
