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»).
