Salt of the Earth Says Its Mediterranean Umami Ingredient Can Cut Salt Content Of Snacks

July 31, 2020: 12:00 AM EST
The Israeli sustainable sea salt flavoring company says that its clean label ingredient can help improve a snack’s Nutri-Score by reducing sodium content. The nutrient score shows that the Mediterranean Umami ingredient, derived from plant extracts containing umami flavor compounds, can be used as a 1:1 drop-in replacement for salt in snack applications. Available in powder and liquid form, the ingredient cuts sodium by up to 45 percent, improving the Nutri-Score by 3-5 points. That, in many cases, is enough to improve the overall letter score, the company claims. The 5-color Nutri-Score nutrition label, used by European countries and companies like Nestlé and Danone, converts the nutritional value of products into a simple letter/color code.[Image Credit: © Salt of the Earth Ltd.]
