Starting December 14, 2026, the FDA will allow salt substitutes in 139 foods. Government rules called "standards of identity (SOI)” specify the ingredients and recipes required for a food to be classified as bread, cheese, milk, ketchup, or other food categories. Most SOIs did not allow salt substitutes, but now, companies can reduce sodium levels in foods by using a salt substitute like potassium chloride. If a product contains a salt substitute, it must be included in the ingredients list. Salt substitutes can be beneficial for anyone who is trying to lower their blood pressure.
