Why does Sal Yodada Fina not have a Nutri‑Score label?

Nutri‑Score is not calculated for pure salts because they contain no calories, fat, sugars or protein, so the system classifies them as not‑applicable.

How does the extremely high salt content of this product affect people with hypertension?

Consuming large amounts of high‑salt products can raise blood pressure and increase cardiovascular risk, so individuals with hypertension should use the salt sparingly and follow recommended daily sodium limits.

Is the added iodine in this fine salt beneficial for everyone, and are there any groups who should limit its intake?

Iodine helps prevent iodine deficiency disorders and supports thyroid function, but people with hyperthyroidism or iodine sensitivity should monitor their overall iodine consumption and may need to limit intake of iodized salt.
