Tata Salt — OKAY
Munch or Dump rates Tata Salt by Tata OKAY — score 60/90.
Plain iodized table salt with just three components: salt, added iodine, and a flow agent. Clean and minimally processed, but it's still sodium, so use a light hand.
Why this verdict
- Short, clean three-ingredient list with no artificial colors, flavors, or stacked additives
- Fortified with iodine (potassium iodate), an essential nutrient for thyroid and brain function
- Minimally processed (vacuum-evaporated, NOVA 2)
- It is still sodium chloride: high intake raises blood pressure, so moderation matters
Ingredients (3)
- EDIBLE COMMON SALT (moderate) — Sodium for flavor; modest amount in a small biscuit.
- Potassium Iodate (2mg) (safe) — Added iodine source. Prevents iodine-deficiency disorders and supports thyroid and brain development. A genuine fortification benefit.
- Anticaking Agent (INS 536) (moderate) — Sodium ferrocyanide, used in tiny amounts to keep salt free-flowing. Considered safe at these levels but is a processing additive, not food.
