Aashirvaad Iodized Salt — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates Aashirvaad Iodized Salt by aashirvaad OKAY — score 58/90.

Plain iodized table salt with anticaking agents. The added iodine is a genuine public-health win, but it's still sodium chloride, so the only real rule is moderation.

Why this verdict

• Short, recognizable list with no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners
• Iodine fortification (potassium iodate) is a real, evidence-backed health benefit
• Anticaking agents (INS 551, INS 536) are functional additives used at trace levels
• Still pure sodium chloride, so overuse drives blood pressure up

Ingredients (4)

• Edible common salt (sodium chloride) (moderate) — Provides essential sodium, but most people already eat too much, which raises blood pressure over time. Fine in normal cooking amounts.
• Potassium iodate (iodine source) (safe) — Fortifies the salt with iodine, supporting thyroid function and brain development and preventing iodine-deficiency disorders.
• Silicon dioxide (INS 551) (moderate) — Anti-caking agent; harmless but a marker of ultra-processing.
• Potassium ferrocyanide (INS 536) (moderate) — Anticaking agent used at tiny, tightly regulated levels. Safe as used; the 'cyanide' name sounds scary but it's a stable bound complex, not free cyanide.
