Sodium reduction in focus at Cargill
The FDA’s move to include potassium as one of the nutrients that must be listed on the Nutrition Facts panel (it is also raising the DRV for potassium from 3,500mg to an RDI of 4,700mg) - coupled with its new sodium reduction targets - have focused attention on potassium chloride (KCL), a leading salt replacer, says Cargill.
It is also seeing growing demand for its Alberger hollow-pyramid-shaped salt crystals, which deliver more salty bang for their buck owing to their high surface area to volume ratio and low bulk density, providing superior adherence, blendability and solubility vs regular cube-shaped granulated salt.
