FDA to permit ‘potassium chloride salt’ in place of ‘potassium chloride’ on food labels; CSPI says new term 'not helpful'
The FDA says it will accept the term ‘potassium chloride salt’ instead of ‘potassium chloride’ on food labels in a bid to demystify the popular salt replacer for consumers, although industry stakeholders lobbying for a name change had hoped it would ditch the term ‘chloride’ altogether and allow the term ‘potassium salt’ (given that sodium chloride is allowed to be labeled simply as ‘salt’).
