Now the country will have the same salt, companies cannot make strong claims

New Delhi, 31 August 2019, Saturday

Now companies can't make big claims about salt. The only quality salt available for the rich or the poor will be available. Because the Food Safety and Standard Authority is about to set standards. That means there will be only one quality salt across the country.

Salt is an indispensable part of a meal. Without it no dish would be as delicious. However, in the present country there is no standard for it, so different types of salt are sold in the market and the company makes claims about it. Companies are experimenting with new products to showcase their product better than others. Many truths have also been brought about by the salt.

Then fssi is going to take the salt first and set some standards. Responsible for this work is the two prestigious laboratories of Scientific and Industrial Research Council of the National Botanical Research Institute and Dr. of Central Salt and Marine Chemical Research Institute, Bhavnagar. Arvind Kumar has been handed over.

President of NBRI's Pharmacognosy Division. According to Sharad Srivastava, salt is prepared with sodium chloride. Its main source is the sea. One liter of sea water contains 35 grams of solid with 3.5 percent salinity.

Traditional salt is the purest. However, iodine was added to control the problem of goiter in the country and since then the currency of iodized salt has increased. At present, the proportion of iodine in different brand salts also varies. This also leads to the belief that loose salt is not pure.

In the vision document prepared by CSIR, the quantities of calcium, magnesium, sulfate, iodine, iron, copper, lead etc. have also been determined in the vision document prepared by CSIR. It is believed that fssi will announce new standards soon.

In addition to iodized salt, people also use Pink Salt, Black Salt, Highlight Salt, Evine Red Salt, Black Lava Salt, etc. Black salt is processed by hydrogen sulphide and prepared. Black salt is also called synthetic salt.

Dr. of the Central Salt and Marine Chemical Research Institute. According to Arvind Kumar, the saline algae found on the coast are made from salicornia. This salt is good for health. It has low sodium and high in potassium.
